AtD Review in WPost This Sunday

[Will Layman]

Yardley is pretty well on the record as not appreciating Pynchon and  
his ilk.  In my experience, he has become a dogmatic and close-minded  
reviewer, an older guy lamenting an era that has passed.  That said,  
he has loved some books that I love too -- mostly the Michael Chabon  
novels.

I'd be stunned if he reviewed AtD.

By the way, unable to resist, I went into a local Barnes and Noble  
this evening and tried to talk some people into selling me one early,  
claiming I was leaving the country for a month and didn't want to  
wait until next year to read the book.  I got stared at funny.  Then  
I was told that books are absolutely not put on sale until the  
release date, and that the boxes are sealed and labeled, etc.  I  
believe I said, "Aw, c'mon, there's got to be one back there out of  
the box, baby, . . . ."

No dice.

I wait.
