Jeff’s Recent Updates
"I sat down on the chair. It was made of black plastic. I picked up the book. I read it. It contained a number of short stories. The short stories were made of short sentences. The sentences were dry and shallow. The sentences were dull. I was tired. "

added a status update: In reviewing George Saunders' Vigil in the lRB, when Adam Mars-Jones says that "the eye, accustomed as it is to punctuation that aims to smooth the experience of reading rather than roughen it up," he reveals himself, again, as a pissy little reviewer with a conventional mind and a censorious streak. His engine of thinking is as powerful as a hand crank. Yes, mark me down as undecided.
