Update

I am now also reading the new issue of Tin House. Steve Almond was an adjunct creative writing professor at BC. They invite Condi Rice to speak and he resigned in protest. He got letters from the wingnuts. There is a section in Tin House in which he prints the original letters and then replies with humour and wit. Its quite nice.

I am still working on This Discomfort Zone by Jonathan Franzen. I have about fifty pages left. It is really well written as well as pretty interesting. However, I still have to ask why a memoir and not a new novel?

I am so excited for the Yiddish Police Man's Union by Michael Chabon. May 1.

All for now. Now sleep.
