Don't know about y'all, but I do enjoy those absolutely gauche covers put out by Vintage Contemporaries in the 80s and 90s.

Been meaning to read Brodkey for a while now. I had, and sadly misplaced, a copy of Stories in an Almost Classical Mode.

Damn, those twin towers. I think this is the first real 'adult' book I ever read. It was a hell of an enlightening pragmatic insight into the ways of the world. In the early 90's my father brought it back to England with him having gone out to New York to do some work for a major bank. He told me he went to a bookshop and asked someone working there to recommend a book that encapsulated the New York vibe. I still have that very copy sitting pride of place on my bookshelf. There's no real point to me divulging any of this but all the same I appreciate you letting me have the chance. Peace.

Boobs are way too big, I thought the Japanese were supposed to be the world's greatest pedos.
