"His stories are best when they just jiggle along. When he tries to
stop and infuse them with meaning...they falter." New Yorker,
Briefly Noted, Oct 3, 2005.
in Harold Wilson's day Mrs. Jasper said ought to avoid contractions aren't can't won't much too casual not quite the thing oh I can still hear her, "noht qvite de ting" lovely accent she was from India and very particular
I had Mrs. Hodgson in Sunday School and in the music room she said music could impress you transport to wild places so it was better to start calm and concentrate as bad as running with scissors this risk of doing things while listening
I concentrated and then I camped and stuff and now here I am grown-up with influenced views
the youth who now elbow their way through to part time jobs agree in clusters at conferences about privileging almost everything except themselves they challenge the Jasper-Hodgson axis but on most issues they are softer than those two were
for all they claim to care less they hold that watching t.v. reveals the masses and so they find me guilty of knowing nada about Oprah
last year they wanted to serve Pabst at parties for that unpretentious touch this was almost too much
