New York's 100 Most Important Living Writers

[Charles Albert]

I meant to drop this on the list last week.....

Flavah takes a shot at the NYT list of 2012 books, at which I peeked and in
the course of so doing wound up reading a review which culminated as
follows...


Geoffrey Ward finds complexity elsewhere, especially in the dying Grant.
Racked with agony from terminal cancer, he wearily wrote his life out to
rescue his family’s finances with a memoir — a brilliant, landmark memoir.
And he revealed unsuspected depths. *“The fact is I think I am a verb
instead of a personal pronoun,” he told his doctor. “A verb is anything
that signifies to be; to do; or to suffer. I signify all three.”*

and on the subject of things cool....

which led to this

which, in turn, completely fucked up a decade long effort to divorce myself
from "want".....
