Pamuk primerFeel guilty for not giving a shit about the whole Pamuk thing? Now's your chance to get caught up on watercooler fodder. Who am I kidding. Look behind you. Carefully! You don't want to let them know you're looking. Do you think those people talk about anything but Survivor at the watercooler? That's the reason you're excluded, brainiac. You're alone. Alone and trapped in a job you can barely stand with people you disdain. Admit it. Then the healing can begin. Now, quietly rise from your desk and gather your mildewy tomes for break. Go spend some quality social time with your pal Proust. Home

August in AugustKleinzahler profiled in the NYT. (The most important thing about this article is that it mentions the Griffin Prize three times without calling it Canadian! The award done come up! The best thing that can happen to an honour is that is sheds its nation or origin. Like how the Nobel has lef those chocolate clockmakers back in the chalet.) Home

Advertisements are now so numerous that they are very negligently perused, and it is therefore become necessary to gain attention by magnificence of promises and by eloquence sometime sublime and sometimes pathetick.
- Samuel Johnson, 1758
