I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
Seeing Lenny Bruce and Larry David mentioned in the same breath as Bernhard makes me little uncomfortable. He isn't that glib to me.
