My friend Ian Blecher is the smartest, funniest person I know. (I may have offended some other people I know by making this proclamation. For that, I am sorry. Know that I do take bribes.) I was going to link to his website, but I don’t know if has one. So, here’s his son’s website. (If you scroll down a bit, you will see me playing patty-cake.)
Anyway, yesterday Ian pointed out to me that Book Forum likes my book. Book Forum, for those of you who don’t know, is… well, I don’t know. I’m not that smart. I gather it’s a magazine of some kind. I think it has to do with books. And I’d wager that it is read by many smart people, some of whom may also be funny.
Other subjects mentioned on this page: Wallace Shawn, Tintin, and Condoms. Good company, no?
I think it’s cute that they used the word “Twittery.” Is that an accepted adjective? I guess in smart/funny/book-y circles, it is. Does that mean “Tumblry” is on deck?
