My Dots for Wednesday, March 14, 2007

The Morning News is doing a tournament of books with guest writers pitting two, usually completely unrelated, titles against each other. Today’s guest writer was Colin Meloy. The match was funny, if not terribly insightful.

I’m really excited for the forthcoming Thomas Pynchon battle though! Bring it!

Quoted: “You’re mine, Ford!” shouted English, August from across the cage, “Your little New Jersey pastoral is going to appear quaint next to my acerbic, comic look at modern Indian life.” He spat in the sand and added, “I’m like the fucking Indian Kafka!” The crowd erupted in boos and cheers.
