Big Other’s Birthday Tribute to William Gass
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Big Other, Birthday tribute, Daniel Green, John Madera, Luca Dipierro, Malcolm Sutton, Michael Leong, William Gass on July 30, 2011 | 23 Comments »

I was going to post this as a comment on Michael’s wonderful post from yesterday, but then it got too long (big surprise), and then I wanted to embed a couple of videos (bigger surprise). Paula commented there: Although I understand the annoying snobbery of the Times review and other critical writing, I think the [...]

Michael Leong: On Ritual “Before sitting down to write, I methodically lay out my instruments as a good dentist always does before a nervous patient.
