So it would seem I’m someone’s guide to contemporary literature. I hope he knows what’s he’s getting into.

    The rapidly growing and blossoming Kevin Smokler Contempt-o-rary Lit Cult is awaiting further instructions, master.
    Hey, is there any way to get a transcript online of your astonishingly brilliant interview on C-Span Book Notes?
    My wife and I were flipping channels, and stumbled on you half way through the interview.
    We sat there yelling, “Yeah, you’re telling it. Correct. That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout. Come on. Preach it, brother. Damn right. Wow. Did you catch that? Where the hell is my notepad and pen? You did what with it? Hurry up. What? Oh crap. Oh crap. He’s gone. It’s over. Oh shoot me.” and things like that there.
    You said something to the effect that the internet makes it easy to find whatever you’re interested in. So simple, yet a good point, how it’s not in competition with books.
    What are your 10 favorite books of all time?
    Do you like DJINN by Robbes-Grillet?
    THE LAST MAN by Maurice Blanchot?
    Huh? Speak up, man. I can’t hear you.
    BTW…thanks for the link.
    I’m the “someone”.
