The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction: May 2007
http://everythingbutthefiction.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Friday, May 25, 2007. You were just a caretaker. They didn’t have to feel what you. Felt; they just had to be supported in feeling what they. 8221; and giddily remembers the moment, “Josh had goosed her with his Gameboy, [and] she’d shot a spray of toothpaste across the mirror and they’d all cracked up,” and speaking of her husband, (who never actually appears in the story; neither does Callie’s.). Are never processed by Callie. This disorder words to give ...

The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction: Daniil Kharms's "So It Is In Life"
http://everythingbutthefiction.blogspot.com/2007/08/daniil-kharmss-so-it-is-in-life.html
The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Wednesday, August 1, 2007. Daniil Kharms's "So It Is In Life". How does one respond to a story when a quote from the writer asserts the practical meaninglessness of his work? Forewarned of this writer’s greatness,I treaded warily. Can my opinion possibly have relevance? Somebody compared this guy to Beckett! Kharms already told me his work is nonsense; to use reason to describe, approach, or understand it is foolish. (What is wrong with us stupid readers? Often...

The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction: June 2007
http://everythingbutthefiction.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Maxim Biller's "The Mahogany Elephant". Thursday, June 21, 2007. Consider when our narrator is helping George write a fictional emotional response to his parents’ fake divorce (the mother’s exercise becomes more morbid, the more one considers it) and starts to suggest her own childhood dreams as a template: “You could put a bad dream in, George; that would take up a few lines. / ‘What about? Thursday, June 14, 2007. And tell her I said...

The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Friday, August 31, 2007. Lara Vapnyar's "Luda and Milena". Friday, August 24, 2007. Daniyal Mueenuddin's Nawabdin Electrician. His stature would slip away like his motorcycle almost does. Ironic of me to invoke a Christian ideal; we are in Pakistan for God’s sake.) Nawab doesn’t. “Never. I won’t forgive you. You had your life, I had mine. At every step of the road I went the right way and you the wrong.”. Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Hari Kunzru's "Magda Mandela".

The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction: A.L. Kennedy's "Wasps"
http://everythingbutthefiction.blogspot.com/2007/07/al-kennedys-wasps.html
The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. At this point I had to stop. What the hell is going on? Neither story offers any explanation. When the mother says, “I do believe that you still love me,” about Ray, the reader wants to roll the magazine and swat at her like swiping for wasps. What is she talking about? Labels: A.L. Kennedy. She could not say, because they had already discussed this issue. I like “Wasps’s” dialogue, that somewhat off-beat talk only th...The main charac...

The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Friday, July 20, 2007. This is the opposite of Constance, a character as dry as Houston, she depresses the story. What is it about this woman that drove me to the brink? Yet, towards the end I wondered about Constance’s husband. Couldn’t she return to him? I'm going to cali this weekend and won't be back until september.here is the website i was talking about where i made extra summer cash. Later! The website is here. July 20, 2007 at 2:43 PM.

The New Yorker: Everything But the Fiction. Thursday, July 12, 2007. Which is my way of metaphorizing my belief that on its best days the world i inhabit and try to represent the life, never fails to keep offering us chances to awaken to ourselves.” Such a great, hopeful sentiment, it was worth repeating. Speaking of comments, there have been some damn good ones. Sometimes, I feel like the comments outshine my posts, so they are worth their weight in.megabytes? July 12, 2007 at 6:57 PM.
