Pre-Weekend Tidbit #3. Introducing "And...Done!", featuring articles from the many magazines and newspapers I peruse and the exact moment when I had to stop reading. Today: a book review by Les Simpson in this week's Time Out New York:
Cintra Wilson sliced and diced our country's obsession with celebrity in an essay collection, A Massive Swelling (2000). Her debut novel, Colors Insulting to Nature, once again shows off her gift for wordplay while hammering home the thesis that Hollywood fame is grotesque, and the pursuit of its shallow rewards pathetic and wrong.
Our hero is mixed up Liza Normal...And...Done!
