howling fantods!

Hurrah! David Foster Wallace has a new book out, entitled Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity. In honour of this momentous - for us DFW geeks, at least - occassion, I've decided to rename my blog 'howling fantods!' (a key phrase from DFW's magnum opus Infinite Jest). I would have named it that in the first place, if I'd have thought of it. Anyway, I need to get me that book. I serendipitously noticed that another favourite of mine, Jonathan Lethem, has a new book out entitled The Fortress of Solitude. And no, it isn't about Superman. It's about Brooklyn. Where all the cool kids live, these days, it seems.
