since bananafish is taking a distinctly french tone of late (tim goes to
paris, myron's got st-exupery as a sig file) i thought i'd take the
opportunity to showcase my entire knowledge of the french language after
five years of study.
je fume comme un pompier. je suis une fumeur inverite. tu as une feu?
(i came out with this in an oral exam once, minus the last sentence,
only to discover the examiner was a fanatical anti-smoker - c'est
degoutant!, she exlaimed. oh, well. c'est la vie.)
irrelevance aside, i'd just like to ask which one was the classic pic of
salinger looking very old and very deranged, and as though he's making a
grab for the camera? know the one i mean? i know that it's not very
respectful of wishes for privacy, but as a photograph, i think it's
bloody brilliant.
As for sue townsend, sonny, I loved the adrian mole books, though, in
retrospect, they're a leetle too close to home: 'although i'm an
intellectual, i'm not very clever, and so have to study harder than
everyone else.' i like the o'learys too. every year on paddy's day they
get disgustingly drunk and then arrested. even though I've read all the
books a thousand times they still make me laugh.
i still can't believe nobody seconded my nomination of tom robbins as
one of the best. he's stunning! Still Life With Woodpecker? Half Asleep
in Frog Pajamas? ANYONE????
