Review of Riding Toward Everywhere
And speaking of Vollmann, there's a negative but amusing review of his latest non-fiction work, "Riding Toward Everywhere," in today's New York Times Book Review. Line of the day:
Whores are to Vollmann as bears are to John Irving.
The reviewer then goes to describe a "freaky" episode where Vollmann makes out with a transient stranger dancing by a campfire. I love Vollmann.
<<< Beautiful Children, a novel about Las Vegas Momentucrats vs. Arithmecrats >>>
I would say whores are to Vollmann as whores are to Irving.
That's very true.
