Do you? Have you...I don't know what he's doing now. Do you? Have you read any of his wife's stuff - Nicole Krauss?

I picked it up no...I loved this book as well Mike. I picked it up not knowing it was about 9/11. I read his other book first--actually I listened to it from Audible. The reader (I can't remember if he reads it himself) has all these cool voices. You'll love it...I really don't how he fits such humor into tragedy. <BR/><BR/>He went to college with a classmate of mine at Tuck. Have you heard anything about what he's writing now?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169663052414466557noreply@blogger.com
