Finished the newest of the new stories yesterday and am now rereading it to see how it stacks up. I’ll let you know. At some point. In any case, Tschuss for now.

I don't know this one, but I love "A Prayer for the Dying," a truly great book.
@tcboyle Is that by Dana Spiotta? I’ll put it on my list. I’m working through “Emily Alone,” the sequel to “Henry Himself” by Stewart O’Nan. He’s a Pittsburgh writer. “The Circus Fire” and “A Prayer for the Dying” are my favorite books by him. The first is nonfiction.

I am trying, but it looks hopeless at present.
@tcboyle We have the honor of fighting for our democracy, don't we?

True enough.
@tcboyle Really hard to find examples where the film is objectively better than the book. Most of these cases are pulp novels brilliantly adapted, like The Godfather, Jaws, etc.

Great story.
@yourfavoritepr1 @tcboyle I studied computer science at Syracuse University. It’s a private university. It cost around $10k/year in 1982. That was a lot of money back then. My father worked construction. He sent me to work on a tobacco farm at 14. That made me wish for college more than anything, lol.

Absolutely. I am rooting for the guy on the left, whom I still refer to as "The Kid."

I am the first of our family ever to go to college. My B.A., M.F.A. and Ph.D. were all earned at state schools.
@LarryKellogg @tcboyle No correlation for me. My dad worked in a steel mill, and my mom picked up work here and there, mostly secretarial.
