I Published A Bunch Of My Older

I Have Sparred With Commenters As A Music Writer (on The Rumpus, Among Other Places, See E.g., My Review About Taylor Swift), And That Was Plenty Of Training!

I Believe In The Absolute And Unlimited Liberty Of Reading. I Believe In Wandering Through The Stacks And Picking Out The First Thing That Strikes Me. I Believe In Choosing Books Based On The Dust Jacket.

It Turns Out That My Memory Is Just Not That Great, So For Specific Scenes With People Doing Stuff, Sometimes I'd Have The Details All Wrong Or I Couldn't Remember What Happened Exactly, So I Just Let That Be.

I Turned Forty, And Im Finally Going To Get Married And Maybe Have A Kid.

I Suppose I Should Say That I Treasure Blasphemy, As A Faith Of The Highest Order.
