Hoi Polloi:
On my way home from work today, I started saying “Hoi Polloi” over and over again. What a fun couple of words. I think I learned about it reading the posts about Fray Day 5, which I attended this year, but I’m not sure.
So that’s the word of the day. Hoi Polloi
In book news, Jenny Egan’s new novel Look at Me was nominated for a National Book Award this morning. Her first novel, The Invisible Circus, was a favorite of mine. She’s also a very nice person. Congratulations Jenny!
Oh, and V.S Naipaul won the Nobel Prize for Literature. I called him a jerk in my last column. Now I guess he’s a Nobel jerk.
