I was thinking about blogging about it, but I don't even know where to begin, especially because one would have to acknowledge the attempt at humor alongside the horror, and really better just to leave it alone.
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.
