    Just read the C.K. Williams died last month. Saw him do couple of readings, once in the early 90s while in school and more recently around 2008.

    Both times I was able to speak with him - great man and poet.

     

    I love CKW, I was so bummed when he passed. I need to get his new book that came out last month, too.

    Anyone else watching The Grinder?  I know it's a network comedy (Fox, no less), but I'm really enjoying it.  Rob Lowe and Fred Savage are pitch perfect and the rest of the cast is really good.

     

    I have and I've enjoyed it for the most part. The pilot and last week's episodes were really strong, I thought. But I worry about its sustainability, concept-wise. It feels very in danger of becoming a victim of its own gimmick. It'll be interesting to see if they are able to evolve it through the season.

    It's a collection of stories. Definitely good so far, I'm three stories in. But BJC is one of my favorite modern writers. She was nominated for a National Book Award for her last collection, and her novels are pretty badass, too. Kind of a modern Michigan equivalent of Flannery O'Connor.
