I just said nobody gave a shit.<BR/><BR/>Your whole blog reveals your own obsession with trustfunders instead of artists. Raymond Carver was forced to change his sentences! Wow, that's the stuff of revolution.<BR/><BR/>No wonder you have paranoid fantasies about me. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late to meet the CIA to talk about the Paris Review giving blowjobs to Rick Moody.jimmy gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434938879390034763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-62289039811584072752008-02-15T09:18:00.000-08:002008-02-15T09:18:00.000-08:00"Grace" is trying so hard at being a mole and play..."Grace" is trying so hard at being a mole and playing the part so badly that he could only be a super-rich trustfunder of some kind.<BR/>He reminds me of German plants in WWII movies, like Peter Graves in "Stalag 17" or Ty Hardin in "Battle of the Bulge," who eventually give themselves away.<BR/>"Hey guys, how 'bout some baseball? let's play some catch and pitch! Heya, whaddya think about Babe Ruth?"<BR/>Grace's schtik is "Hey, we artists shouldn't associate with this guy.

The author's name covering the top 2 thirds with 'count' in big letters, the title taking a fifth from the bottom, and a little ugly tiny, badly done, war landscape sandwiched in between. Cost? 29.95, and imagine the number of returns!<BR/>Mainstream reviewer's book review headline - "War and Peace", two volumes?<BR/>Fun stuff Karl.Tom Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754846204206739201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-42744845441836638102008-02-13T18:22:00.000-08:002008-02-13T18:22:00.000-08:00funny stuff, karl.funny stuff, karl.Frank Marcopoloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434560672740630201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-28264382636971754262008-02-13T14:46:00.000-08:002008-02-13T14:46:00.000-08:00Does anybody know if Carver was any good before? ...Does anybody know if Carver was any good before?
