That McSweeney’s essay is just hilarious! I’ve read it like 5 times in the last couple of days, and still bust out laughing every time.

I just finished reading Inheritance (I’m an English major, had a heap to read beforehand for courses, don’t judge) and I have to say I’m with you there for appreciating the beauty of Ms Desai’s writing…to think I didn’t make it through her first novel because of laziness, for shame!

Bit bummed that it was 300 words culled from 1500 though, I’m sure the extra plot lines involved Saeed Saeed who was actually one of my favourite characters.

I would like to be a Japanese-American book critic, but it looks like you’d have to be a middle aged white man to be able to BECOME Michiko Kakatuni, so a brown girl living at the edge of the world I shall remain ;) Great link though.

The Chief Justice where I live is female as well…I think if I added a few sheep into the mix I might be able to wrangle a local version of Ms Rao’s tale to help pay off my student loan.

Then, judging by where her own book is destined, cough $1 bin cough, maybe…not.

It’s obvious she’s trying to resurrect her dream of rejecting law school and enrolling in some creative writing program, and good for her, but I think I’ll just get back to a real novel featuring another cantankerous judge (which I’m reading way too late) The Inheritance of Loss.

Two young girls, two bitchy judges…oh, what world of difference talent makes.

Also, not sure Norah really identifies with the third world. Alas, she and Nitin Sawhney could probably do some awesome melancholy together :)
