    Never one to seek attention, Jon took Hailey to the Oak Room on Saturday night and they arrived via carriage. It was beautiful.

    i can't say as how i blame the kids for their disinterest. waldman's books are even less interesting than she is, which is quite a feat. #michaelchabon

    Perhaps this only funny in my own mind, but every time these two are mentioned I have a concious "oh yeah" moment when I realize she isn't married to Jonathan Safran Foer. #michaelchabon

    No daughter wants to think of her father like that - especially when it comes to sex and being young and all. These people are putting their kids through even more embarrassing shit than they already have to go through for just having parents. #michaelchabon

    Foster, I've been waiting for you to write something about this since I read the article this afternoon.I had wanted to read Kavalier and Clay for a while, and I enjoyed the movie version of his story Wonder Boys, but now I don't think I can read anything by either of them.

    It mystifies me why anyone would write more than two memoirs or thinly veiled novels based on their relatively uninteresting lives. There was another article in the Times about award-winning "American" writers who either live in or are from other countries, and if they're wondering why domestic literature hasn't been very inventive lately, this is it. Winning a Pulitzer does not mean a writer or his/her writer spouse is entitled to share their collective narcisissm with the world.

    Maybe it is, in fact, well written, and I guess it sells well, too. I just wonder where a publisher should draw the line. #michaelchabon

    @DontSweatTheTechnique: I'm guessing the publisher read the "thinly veiled memoirs" and found them to be well written and compelling.
    It seems like you're denying yourself the pleasure of reading some pretty great literature (IMO) because you don't like the cult of personality around the author.

    I've read and enjoyed many authors whose personal lives and views I have found obnoxious or even distasteful. Hemingway, Roth, Mailer, Carver, Bukowski, etc.

    If you're squeamish about biographical references, you're probably safe with Kavalier and Clay, since it takes place before Chabon was born. #michaelchabon

    @DontSweatTheTechnique: I'm very much with Cicada here. Chabon's imagination is incredible. I loved Yiddish Policeman's Union, wherein he invents an entire world. I say skip the Times and its silly crap and read Chabon. #michaelchabon

    @Cicada: I was just throwing a temper tantrum. It does bother me, though, when authors overshare because it can take away from their work. It's like watching a movie with an overexposed actor and finding it hard to buy him/her as a separate character (not referring to anyone specific). With authors, I guess it's not necessarily such a bad thing, but it doesn't help, either. #michaelchabon

    Now I really want to know what it would've been like if Philip Roth wrote The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Would it have been like The Plot Against America or more in the vein of American Pastoral? #michaelchabon

    Who are you, Foster Kamer, you rugged wordy genius? Your name sounds like an investment firm or a carpet store, but your posts sound like a dark hosanna from the depths of the collective "I hate everyone" soul.

    Do you understand that "Stick this up your AlternaAss" is going to be the sulky mantra of every Gawkerite for this week, and for always?

    Angry, angry people riding the M train, or pushing their kids Milo and Rumi down Smith Street in the Maclaren, or toiling over stupid screenplays that feature wide-eyed, arty, but ultimately servile (and skinny! so skinny!) girls in them, and/or all the unemployed supercilious toolbags of Meenhattan and elsewhere, all will think, all of our days: Stick this up your AlternaAss, (whomever or whatever is cheesing you off).

    Perhaps the Chabon/Waldman kids will revolt, like a four-primate gorilla uprising, and clobber their parents. But it's of no matter to us, because we now have a slogan for our campaign of end-of-days urban antipathy.

    God speed, Foster Kamer, and good luck. #michaelchabon

    @cellardoor: Thanks, I'm touched! I happen to need a new carpet runner, which probably informed my post.

    I'd like something in an easy-care, self-loathing kilim pattern, if you've got it. #michaelchabon
