The most interesting thing for me was his ‘obsession’ with an early William Trevor story ‘Miss Smith.’ Haven’t read it, though I’ve digested a bunch of Trevor. There are more similarities, along the lines of theme, i.e. murder, grief, than one would think.

I’ve heard a few interviews. Sometimes I get the feeling that he’s kind of overreaching–that he’s using language more sophisticated than his understanding of the text–but he’s got interesting taste, and doesn’t let authors off the hook, which I appreciate.

Sadly, I don’t think anyone will be able to fill Silverblatt’s shoes, if he’s pushed off the air. You guys know he could lose funding, right? It’s terrible.
