NEW DFW!

Whoa! When did this happen?



Bookslut, aren't you supposed to keep me up on these things? I used to have the Howling Fantods in my bookmarks, then came the Great iBook Crash of 2004. So I'm still a bit disorganized.

Now I probably have no right to be that excited about this, because I haven’t gotten to his "compact history of infinity" yet, but this marks Wallace’s first foray into fiction since I was fighting MIP citations a half-decade ago. I think I can finish off "Crime and Punishment" and the collection of Harlan Ellison stories I"ve been putting off -- and if I use my upcoming cross-country flight time judiciously, Vlad Nabokov’s "Pale Fire" -- in time for "Orblivion"'s June release.

Plus, as long as I'm on a pop culture kick, I'll mention that I just got tickets for KB2 tomorrow night. If my first name didn't get me killed the first time around, I should be safe this time. Wish me luck.
