You can read a small portion of my new
BELIEVER column on the BELIEVER "web" site. In it, I describe myself as "a
puckish, impish sprite, seemingly not born so much as deposited on Earth via
moonbeam." In addition to representing the way I really feel about myself, that phrase is a salute to the writing style of
Art Cohn in his crazy
biography of Joe E. Lewis, as read by our doomed book club.
