He’s just in his 60s? That’s nothing now.

3000 pages of violence? Did he get pounded in high school? I never read any of his stuff, I just remember him being name dropped at this board a lot around 2005-2007 when all you guys who read books were dropping the names of postmodern behemoths and the guys who write them a lot.

Was Harper’s a “quirky” magazine? I seem to remember it being something like that? The kind of thing Tom Wolfe would have made terrible fun of?
