Here is another in our scintillating series of
"Old-Timey Book Reports." It seems that over on the
Elegant Variation "web" site, they have
revealed that
Jim Ruland shares our love of
THE THIRD POLICEMAN. (To read Ruland's article,
"click" here.) Someone over there on "TEV" (as I call it for short) also
gives a shout-out to Robert Walser, who
irritates Phil so much. I must say, I dropped a little Walser on
the kids last night and a certain percentage of them seemed to share Phil's feelings. Much like
my contretemps with juice and
the Incredible Hulk, it was all my fault, not Walser's! I picked the wrong story, maybe. (Pictured, juice.)
