classic drama. a

sexist/arrogant/talented/unaware of his thick obnoxiousness -- and the protagonist,,, filled with sadness//unluck//caringlovingdoting father searching for place in an

first vonnegut, then DFW and now UPDIKEone of my favorites on one of his favorites <nicholson baker on updike, via U and I>I wanted so much to have the assured touch, the adjectival resourcefulness, that Updike had in all his occasional writings; for though early on he eloquently disparaged the "undercooked quality of prose written to order," the truth was that some of his finest moments were to be found in the aforementioned introductions, award-acceptance speeches, answers to magazine surveys, the last sentences of reviews (like the one that leaps blurb-driven, to memory concerning Nabokov's Glory: "in its residue of bliss experienced, and in its charge of bliss conveyed, Glory measures up as, though the last to arrive, far from the least of this happy man's Russian novels" — terrifying mastery!), prefaces to his own writings, dedications (like the one that I think about all the time, in Problems and Other Stories, to his children, which includes the phrase "with the curve of sad time it subtends" — imagine him applying high school geometry to the mess of his own divorce in such a perfect figure!): those incidental forms that induce his verbal tact to close around some uncomfortable chip of reality even as it reaches to reawaken our dulled sense of why certain conventions (like book dedications) or stock phrases (like "last but not least") exist and what limber life can be found in them; those forms whose mastery seems to me to be more convincing proof of the spontaneity of true talent, its irrepressive oversupply, than any single masterpiece is; and forms which for emulous younger writers can be more important as objects of study than the triple-deckers they besprinkle, because they are clues to the haberdashery of genius, its etiquette, its points of specific contact with recognizable obligations of life, independent of some single lucky choice of subject that bigger forms such as the novel demand.and @ moment of this posting a

David Berman airs dirty laundry and attempts to exorcise Oedipal demons by slicing the wrists of the Silver Jews and
embarking on a
one-poet's crusade versus,
wait for it, his scumbag lobbyist father.
Hmmm... noble, yes. world changing, no. Seems 2 me this
Berman needs to write more/bitch less.
Evil exists, sometimes squatting on the family tree branch just above us. YOU want to make the world a better place?
Sing YOUR songs /// write YOUR poems and accept the presence of evil as necessary.
