Park Sloper
you have a point – but I don’t get all sensitive if someone makes a comment about my ethnic group. It’s probably true or at least funny. It was like once I made a comment about Italian folks – he lost it and went on an all attack against me – meantime I have never had a problem with him once. I find issues with every group – so what – that’s what makes us all different yet the same.
Park Sloper – were you the one who posted on the forum once about litter left by a certain ethnic group in Prospect Park after july 4th weekend ?
park sloper, where in park slope does he live? funny ive read like almost all his books but i have no clue what he looks like. white people really do look all the same to me tho so i probably never would be able to spot him.
jester,
As you know I liked both of Hilary Mantel’s historical novels (A Place of Greater Safety and Wolf Hall). Obviously she had no direct experience of revolutionary France or Tudor England but she did an amazing job on research. Even though it’s imagined history it’s very consistent with the real records.

“Cupcake Brown? Sounds like the woman you French-kissed the other night, *rob*.”
So it was a female?!?!
Siri Hustvedt is awesome. “What I Loved” is one of the most moving novels about NYC that I have ever read.

I’ve often seen Paul Auster in the neighborhood.
Auster’s wife, Suri Hustvedt, is also a fantastic writer. I actually like her work better.
