Quite cool, it was. If you do get around to writing that novel, make it graphic. A far more interesting medium that most Indian writing in English, me thinks.wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393796104870595786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557651362769702661.post-77941655724804706872009-08-30T11:33:42.828+05:302009-08-30T11:33:42.828+05:30And by that you mean what, exactly?And by that you mean what, exactly?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798639260026686429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557651362769702661.post-19195582548232561432009-08-30T10:57:41.771+05:302009-08-30T10:57:41.771+05:30They say the second novel is the hardest to write ...They say the second novel is the hardest to write because you've already used up all the autobiographical juice. <br /><br />Why not jump right in?wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393796104870595786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557651362769702661.post-28918169400326777532009-08-25T20:20:10.118+05:302009-08-25T20:20:10.118+05:30Yeah that Tolkien line was a nod to you.

Will update later today. <br />At 18 I guess I also overestimated how exciting my life would be. There's nowhere as much sex, for one thing :-) I'm sure you know more salacious gossip than I do. <br />This post was supposed to be more about the book than my own writing. Roth wasn't very widely-read in College as far as I remember. He was probably too focused on the Jewish-American community for most, I guess.JChttp://uglybutbearable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557651362769702661.post-85118615455580384502009-08-25T03:04:57.665+05:302009-08-25T03:04:57.665+05:30Ah, so we've been thinking along similar lines...Ah, so we've been thinking along similar lines (down to the Tolkien line) for a while now.<br /><br />Snide comments and sex!
