    I thought McInerney had it written into his contract that only Chip Kidd could do his covers... and this doesn't look like one of his to me.

    I can't wait to see how they re-work the cover of Ransom for its 25th anniversary.

    Oh, wait...

    The makeover is eye-pleasing, but I feel like I've seen it done this way at least 657th times. Huh. And I don't think I'm even counting all the SNL Saturdays, either.

    Also, I would hope they would keep that Raymond Carver blurb in some sort of prominence; that bit o' honey is something to cherish. Anyone ever read Cathedral? Ahh.

    Shrewd SNL observation. Also, the newly released BLBC audiobook is narrated by Don Pardo.

    Oh, the 80s. Sniff (sarcastic sniff, not coke sniff).

    For my Gawker babies: Anyone who tries to back-in-the-day you with references to the glorious nights hanging out at the Odeon, you have my express permission to punch them in the head/balzac. That place was a Eurotrash/hangers-on dumping ground par ex, and all the cool kids were down the street at the Mudd Club, or even over on Leonard Street at the Clocktower.

    @BookishLookish:

    And nowadays the mere presence of Jay McInerney signals pretention without real style or compelling substance.
    The more things change...

    @City_Dater: His presence might signal lack of compelling substance, but it eternally signals the abundance of at least one type of substance. I hugely enjoyed Jay McInerney's cameo in Bret Easton Ellis's Lunar Park. Bret is having a party at his house, and Jay shows up uninvited and starts distributing coke to everyone. HA!
