Hence the delay in checking back here. "Judas Peckerwood" made me laugh out loud for a few minutes. I liked Straight Man more than I liked Empire Falls, which was how I found Straight Man to begin with. Anyway, how are things with you? Haven't seen you in a long time. the lawyering has been hectic.

Anyway, how are things with you? Haven’t seen you in a long time.

Good to see you here Mr. Cevallos. How goes the lawyering? You know, a while after I posted this, I thought maybe I should put in a disclaimer about Straight Man. It really trips off all my warning flags. It's a novel about <br /> - a novelist who's<br /> - an academic<br /> - living in the suburbs <br /> - going through a mid-life crisis with<br /> - a case of writer's block<br /> Woop! Woop! Danger! But it's so funny and it really calls bullshit on that whole kind of novel; I remember the bit where the main character is talking about how the rest of the English department all have their own half-finished novels in their desk drawers, all written for one purpose: to demonstrate a superior sensibility. Ouch! I also love it because it brought the phrase "Judas Peckerwood" into my world. Hey! Good to see you here Mr. Cevallos. How goes the lawyering?
