For one thing, Jeff @ SoThings is really kicking BOTH of our asses. Even though, I stress again, that this is not a race. Also, "Cosmopolis" is not an easy book to read because of its coldness. I don't think it deserved the bad press it got, because I found a lot of it quite comic. (Certainly the idea of a plodding limo moving through traffic amused the hell out of me.) The thing about DeLillo, however, is that, satire-wise, he's all about the context. And, as such, he can be a bit frustrating to read. But that story between DeLillo and Auster needs to be looked up on! C: Don’t worry so much about it. For one thing, Jeff @ SoThings is really kicking BOTH of our asses.
