At least the folks at my kid's school are chill about everything. Too bad he's a little pansy who went to a girls university.

It's in the link, an article written by some stupid woman. Another chestnut in it:

>And there is really nothing more romantic than a tortured artist committing suicide. Would we all still be listening to Elliott Smith if he hadn’t stabbed himself in the heart? I know I wouldn’t. That’s like 75 percent of the appeal!

Shit, what a stack of nobodies.

In Oxford, MS, the citizens called Faulkner Count No-Count. Any one of these talent-challenged scribblers could be Count Doesn't-Count.

I get the strong impression Jeffrey Eugenides is only there because Junot Diaz and all the other token minorities said no.

You know your shit's sad when Franzen is the best writer in the picture.
