The Listeners, Leni Zumas, Tin HouseLeni Zumas’ The Listeners imparts on us a new vocabulary with which to describe the experience of loss, grief, renewal, and the simple experience of everyday life.

Reading Leni Zumas’ debut novel The Listeners puts one in mind of the Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919. Not because…

Every time I read an amazing book I have to bring condiments into the conversation…

“There were no sidewalks in this wooded part of town. The sap of the stick-bare trees was just stirring after what looked like a fierce forest fire of a winter. The roadside gullies that would soon warm and sprout pye weed and pea were still just pebble-flecked mud, and KC’s dog, Cat, sniffed his way along, feeling the winter’s melt, the ground loosening its fertile odor of wakened worms. Overhead the dirt-pearl sky of March hung low as a hat brim. The houses were sidled next to marshes and sycamores, and as she walked along the roads occasionally a car would pass, and she would yank on Cat’s leash to heel him close. The roads, all named after colleges out East—Dartmouth Drive, Wellesley Way, Sweetbriar Road (where was her alma mater, suny Binghamton Street?)—glistened with the flat glossy colors of flattened box turtles who’d made the spring crossing too slowly and were now stuck to the macadam, thin and shiny as magazine ads.” — Lorrie Moore has a new story in The Paris Review and I am struck down by joy.

Thursday, May 17 2012 I hate that I love salt. Come, Pilgrims! Once more we must tredge through the much of sin to reach our destination of the eternal love of our Lord, sucking at his bosom for all of the eternities. Come! Come! We must hate that things that we love and learn to love the things that we hate to stamp out all of the malice in our hearts for our heats must be free! Free! Heart free mind clear!

I want to write a live multi-cam sitcom called “This Seal” and the premise is that a seal lives with a family and wreaks havoc and instigates hilarious mishaps and misunderstandings and the catch phrase for everyone is “This Seal!” 
“Can you believe This Seal?”
“I mean seriously, This Seal.”
“This Seal, amirite?”
“Who does This Seal think he is!?”
“So I was walking down the street and I run into This Seal, right…”
“He’s just This Seal I’m seeing.”
“That’s so This Seal.”
“Check out the tits on This Seal…”
“Oh, just This Seal.” 
“Don’t pull a This Seal!”
“This Seal over here thinks he’s a real charmer.”
“Hey, has anyone else heard about This Seal?”
“Well I tell ya, This Seal!”
