If you haven't seen th...Scott, <BR/><BR/>Nice work on Updike. If you haven't seen the New Yorker compilation of Updikes work in the Feb. 9th and 16th double issue it is worth checking out. Essentially follows his work in snipets from 1955 to May 2008. I especially liked his piece on Ted Williams and the one written just after Kennedy's assasination (including the beautiful and tragic line, "Jacqueline Kennedy became Persephone, the Queen of Hades and the beautiful bride of grief). Keep up the good work on the blog. <BR/><BR/>Also, RE your makeout post, most Iron and Wine music or Beck Mutations. <BR/><BR/>STSam Timberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817871019457495090noreply@blogger.com
