Yes, I was supposed to eat the asperagus in the white house, but I don't like asparagus, I like...

The news paper tells me the crab and asparagus lunch is fresh.

Wow, I was quoted in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. I am really moving up in the world. But you should know that as an observant Jew I do not eat shell-fish. and you should also know that if a man eats asparagus it...well, this you probably know.

I'd be starving if that was all I had for lunch...but then I guess you keep room for desert. Why does asperagus make ones pee smell?

Dear Erin,
Your lunch/dessert menu would leave me wholly unfulfilled, but that’s just me, for now.

I hope this is an appropriate enough place to intrude upon you my personal thoughts, but I am compelled to disclose to you that I read Harvey & Eck from beginning to end with the same eagerness and enthusiasm as your characters must have. And I saw within my self, both Eck and the Hub--and Harvey too. I must admit, that as I read, I remained skeptical that the next pages would not satisfy me. And even as I approached the conclusion, I told myself I would have to mentally re-write the ending to meet my needs. I dare say, I even found myself fearing the neglect of a certain significant object. One I won’t give away out of courtesy for others who have not read your novel yet. But I was wrong on all accounts--and gleefully so.

After I finished the novel, I noticed the words “Women’s Fiction” on the back cover for the first time. But to me, this was a brilliant work of “Men’s Fiction” in more ways than one. A smashing read. A novel that I would feel dignified to have accompany me into any coffee shop despite it’s—how shall I say this?—less conventional cover. Smashing, indeed!

Good choice except I would have subbed for Lobster tail. Cleveland, huh? Bruce Springsteen fans there are great!

Denny:
If I can spell reductio ad absurdum with my pee surely I can spell Denny.

PDD said...

Oh I am possible all right. I assure you I am possible.
