Uh, I think trotting, or galloping, will do the trick a whole lot better.

And Not a Single Bodice-Ripper Among Them.


Only a recent Roth reading run has boosted my "score" in the NYTimes' Best Fiction of the Past 25 Years poll.

And, dear editors, please define these books as those written in the last 25 years. A Confederacy of Dunces, published in 1980, was written, when? the Johnson Administration? By these standards, The Bondswoman's Narrative, the nineteenth-century slave memoir that Henry Louis Gates edited and had published in 2003, would qualify (only it isn't fiction...oh, yeah...but you get the point).
Was not the same with a Mary Shelley novel and a Camus book (The Last Man?), both uncovered/published in the 1990s?
Oh, yeah, and that nutty Gospel of Judas....Didn't that just come out?

Happy (Birth)Days, Sammy.

This year is the centennial of Samuel Beckett's birthday.
