round two of the tournment of books has begun. i actually got a little bored w/ posting links to the tournament, especially since i hadn't read some of the books, but i think maud newton really nails just why roth's novel was so frightening and effective. again, i did read it jsut before the election and was terrified out of my wits, but even a reviewer reading it in february should have picked up on the allusions to the present administration. kudos to maud newton!
for fuck's sake (pun intended), everywhere i turn my head this year there's something on alfred kinsey! he's like this year's "it" girl. what's next, a musical?
ReplyDeletei agree. there must be some other sexy historical figure to make ten billion movies and books about. we should try and figure out another one and beat the next bandwagon and make some money!
