Hi NP -
 
After slogging though that excerpt from the Foer, all I could think of was the lab tech it must have taken to implant a Glass Family sperm (freezer burned, too) into this kid's Mom.  Fucking intolerable little prick, and even more offensive if he's narrating a 9/11 story.  JFC! 
 
I must now be thankful for missing Everything Is Illuminated.  What troubles me is that there is such an audience for this archness.  It's worse than the Reagan-era hotshots - he's not doing drugs, he's sucking blood (if that tambourine doesn't come from a vein of Gunter Grass, then I'm an idiot). 
 
Thanks for the book project you're running on the blog.  It's a fine corrective.
 
I also hope you get generous enrollment for the Satire class - I'd love to do myself, but even with the discount I can get from Salon, it's too expensive.  Maybe next year.
 
Rock on -
Greg
