I'm grateful to...I don't mind at all, John. I'm grateful to her for leading me to some things like Invitation to a Beheading and Bergman films. Haven't cracked F of F in years, but I still remember "zipless fuck" and the parody of the "nous connumes" passage in Lolita and lots of other stuff. It was a help.David Grovehttp://www.eye-grotto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407034878188607881.post-27051982024488188542011-08-12T18:24:47.442-07:002011-08-12T18:24:47.442-07:00Thank you, David.

E...Lovely and inspiring! You make it look so easy.<br /><br />Erica Jong! I haven't heard that name in a long time. Fear of Flying was incredibly important to me. I found a paperback copy lying around when I was a teenager. At first the attraction was the sexual information--access to a woman's intimate thoughts--but soon the book became a source of cultural experience. I listed all her references and good words, all the allusions and dropped names, and looked them up. Growing up in a blue-collar backwater, I had to find my own mentors.David Grovehttp://www.eye-grotto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
