edging up the intellectual food chain

Powell’s books has begun having authors guest blog for a week and Susan Orlean is the lead writer/blogger.

I am heartened that in her first post she writes about procrastination, mostly because in reading her post I was definitely procrastinating. (Although there is something to be said for the argument that before coffee one should read something other than literary theory).

She appears to be answering questions, so if you have something better than "What did you think of the film version of Adaptation?" you might throw it out there. Me, I’m heading back to literary theory.

About the author

I like sitting in Jack Webb's booth.
