So good, I had to read it again right after reading it the first time. Love how it's constructed, and the sneaky bits in which the elder narrator comments on the scenes. I'm not explaining that well, but I do SO admire this story.

Oh, it’s definitely bad here. It’s just that LA is so spread out and DC is so compact!

It is bad here in LA but I think it’s worse for you and your city. I’m so sorry for you and everyone in DC

I’ve read and loved the two “We” books. And from the other list St Sebastian’s Abyss was weird and wonderful. And now I have more to read! Thanks!

i hope you were in the Huntington Library parking lot and not the Huntington Hospital lot. One is much more pleasant than the other.

Those are the two main American tenets. Racism and greed.

it takes place in germany at the rise of naz*s. its a musical but all songs are sung by performers in a cabaret (no one bursts into song on the street). watch for the slow move from the freedom of the cabaret to the horror of what is to come.

I deeply sympathize with your daughter

I remember that feeling. In 6th grade I was mad at a girl who said she was the biggest Beatles fan when clearly I was!

I would un-retire just to read students’ responses to this assignment!

I like comedians when they are funny and I like comedians when their jokes make me cringe.
