Down the Tubes
Maybe it’s just Boston/Cambridge, but having worked in a bookstore for a long time, I feel pretty confident saying that you could get more than a dozen people for a reading of your book of haikus comparing Tianamen Square with bird migration patterns, from a Greco-Bolivian feminist perspective (Note: if you wrote this book, do not contact your local bookstore to set up this reading There’s no nice way for them to laugh you off the phone).
So it’s sad to see that the state of literature in Washington, D.C., is so poor that they can’t even draw a dozen people to Borders to see the intellectual guiding light of the Republican Party. Don’t quit your day job, Joe…oh, wait. You did.
