Reading: Inside the Bungalow: America's Arts and Crafts Style

5 June 2000: Subscribing

This is why I love John Leonard; specifically, this: "Almost before you've felt bad Roth crowds you with second thoughts and hindsight, secret diaries and wiretap transcripts, telephone calls from the governor at midnight and last-minute DNA evidence. (This just in from the Witness Protection Program, the Freedom of Information Act, and postmodernism: you are an unreliable narrator of your own life.) At your window, his back is turned: been there, done that, moved on, very spookyÑlike Anne Frank in E.I. Lonoff's study, Angela Davis in Swede Levov's kitchen, and the ghost of Mickey Sabbath's mother. Our feet are stained with the gripes of Roth."
