I am looking this so bad but as I live in Mexico its very veeery difficult because I can only buy it online, and no one its selling it at retail price. But your story has inspired me and I will try harder, and maybe go to San Diego and see what I can find.

Every January 20th I think of Simeon. We were very good friends and I’ll always remember him. If I go to Sofia one day, for sure I’ll visit his parents. Thank you for posting this.

I am so sorry to hear that. I was much luckier in my fire (some stuff, including most of my photos, survived) but I still remember the fear. I am glad to hear everyone is OK.

Hmmm, Gil. I may actually join you in re-reading Hemingway. I might have told you, he was my author that I detested long after my first encounter with him. Only after re-readin SUN ALSO RISES about ten years ago did I come to appreciate and even like the style.

It might be interesting to see how I view his work now.

Comment on It’s my party and I’ll pod if I want to by V. Czyz

A fun podcast that sounds almost like a movie set up (the overweight parents, the skinny kid reading at the table & ignoring his Big Kahuna Burger–or whatever it was–and then your niece. The two of them would go to the same school but not know each other until the audience had wished for it enough … well, whatever Hollywood would do with it, it’s a great little vignette to be classified under Americana. And now I know who Bach is.

And Harold Bloom. An aquaintance of mine interviewed him & said he’s really not that hard to get hold of. He’s probably today’s champeen reader.

You didn’t even try, but this post was very funny–starting with the title. Interview subjects …? Can you get your boy Ron Rosenbaum on here? That would be cool.

Comment on Another Year, In The Books by Vincent Czyz

Since I’ve already shown my arithmetic skills are abysmal,let me add another sort of post script: “nondescript” is not how I’d describe your style. In fact, as a writer for whom style is close to everything, I’ve always admired and often envied yours–wit, irony, stick-and-move sentences (to borrow from boxing), colorful descriptions, humor, greyhound-like streamlining, and always–always–substance in abundance. I constantly tell people this is the best blog out there.
