Match to Vidal! Thanks for pointing this one out too --- I skipped over it in the print edition. I'd steal it too, but I guess I've stolen enough from you today. (Best answer: "Chased by whom?")
Couldn't resist and posted it on child_lit, off topic though it may be. (Actually, maybe not. No doubt, like everyone else, he too has a children's book in the works.)
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.
I've never wanted to read Gore Vidal until now. Put Ms. Solomon right in her place.
ReplyDeleteBased on this (well, and the rest of Solomon's work), I'd be happy to never read either of them for the rest of my life. Doubly gross.
