Forget it. The moment I saw the issue here, I thought this. No discussion.

No other Jane, ever, especially since. Sorry. Only one.

On Living La VIDA Loca (Sorry)
Maybe our women writers have prioritized differently? Writing good (better!) books?
Was this where the dialogue about whether Jonathan Franzen was the best living American writer or not... saw that go by somewhere this week? And I declined to say anything then -- but oops, maybe I have now!
Anyway, so few good magazines anyway (though I did find it took three hours to get through the latest Lucky Peach yesterday - fabulous) -- we'd rather read The Awl.
Especially when Emily's around!
Best from C'ville,

Not sure -- but I think that is the best sentence I have read in ages. Thanks.

On What To Do With The Cabbage That Comes With Shanghai Soup Dumplings
I have developed an elitist attitude about Chinese food in New York in the last twenty years. Didn't used to be necessary? But seems like it is now. So if I bothered with it at all when I'm in town, probably would go to Chin Chin. Wildly expensive by comparison? Yes. Better? Think so.
