Ryan Reads the Sunday Times
another edit: saw this in last week's times. don't you associate with these people?
Addendum from Book Review Ron Jeremy has a half blind, hairless rat named Fetus.
Highlights:
The word 'scrotum' is ruining this year's Newburry Award winning novel's sales as grumpy elementary school librarians ban the book. The word scrotum is overheard by the main character about a dog getting his scrotum bit by a rattlesnake. The author says this is a true story. Kids get some awesome books. And now it's new with a bunch of folks.
The navy will be deploying dolphins. Linking to dot mil sites makes me nervous.
Non NYT stuff follows including a J. Mann update.
Goddamn Zak Smith. Guy drew a picture for every page in Gravity's Rainbow in 04 and got in the Whitney. And look how fucking punk rock he is. Just got his book Pictures of Girls where he draws girls, sometimes with octopii.
I guess he lives in Brooklyn. Please scowl and wave fvist if you see him on one of yr lite rail voyages. Seems he went to cooper union and mfa'd at yale.
Oh, Jonathan is now doing cool stuff on revver. Click the ads at the end and he could make tens of cents.
i liked the description that followed the scrotum bit... like, "she didn't know what scrotum was... it sounded scientific, but also beautiful." i talk about balls all the time, where's my newberry?
The best part of this hideous article is when they relate winning the Newbery to being added to Oprah's book club. You've got to be fucking kidding me. I almost blogged about this. How low can we go?
Goddamned Oprah
