The Amazon package thrown on the porch this morning contained John Dufresne's latest, which I'm happily reading now.
Curiously though, a minor character (at least at this point), a wheelchair-ridden jerk who aspires to be a nightclub comic, quotes Ann Coulter's "corn-fed, no-makeup, natural-fiber, no-bra-needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagon" line about the women at the 2004 Democratic convention without providing attribution. Is this something a non-political junkie is likely to know?
Third reading report
From Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies:
"A Temporary Matter" 22 pages
"When Mr. Pirzade Came to Dine 20 pages
John Dufresne's Requiem, Mass. 54 pages
You should google that line. Maybe Ms. Coulter got it from someone else...you never know.
