Murakami's the heavy favorite (over Munro) to win this year's Nobel.

On the strength of 1Q84.

What the fuck?

Seriously - while I'm eternally mad at people who make high claims for There Will Be Blood or Donnie Darko these make perfect sense next to the total madness of even a vaguely positive assessment of that book.

Come to think of it there were one or two Wallace-y people in most of my grad classes. Mostly dudes.

Maybe worse in the Northeastern elite schools, where the stiff competition terrifies you into projecting that you already know everything?

I try not to think what I was like at twenty. Probably pretty awful. But probably not in that particular way.
