INTRODUCING WALTER

Dan Savage is inimitable, as you have now discovered. I loved every post, and I certainly hope I’m the exception. What’s the point of a blog if you can’t offend some readers? For my part, I’ve been lollygagging around with the DP and the beagle. Life is short. Next week, I’m going to try and write an essay I’ve been toying with for a year. Meanwhile, one of the best critics and novelists of his generation, Walter Kirn, will be writing in this space for the next and final week of my blogatical. Here’s an interview with him. He’s the author of “Thumbsucker”, “Up In The Air”, and “She Needed Me”, and has been recently writing some steaming criticism for the New York Times Book Review. I generally share this sentiment. Make him feel at home, will ya?
