“…It’s not a memoir, exactly — but it’s not not a memoir, either, and that deeply Blockian ambivalence to the clean, straight, obvious answer makes this a wonderful book for Block fans. He writes more thoroughly and in detail about both his early writing life — those sex books, those pseudonymous books, the quickie thrillers — and his personal life at the time than I’ve ever seen him do before. He doesn’t reveal everything, and he doesn’t tell it straight through — but Afterthoughts does become a memoir-in-parts, the way some novels are built up out of disparate short stories: each bit reveals one facet, and then the next reveals another facet, until, in the end, there’s a clear view of Block…”

Cousin Larry, every book of yours I have read is magnificient. It was also great to see that Craig Ferguson gave you a nod on the 16th that you were one of his favorites and he was reading The Night and The Music. Are you not everyone’s favorite? You are mine!
Aw, that’s sweet of you, Cousin Joy.
I even tell people I don’t know about how great you are. I am doing my best to get everyone in my little corner of Southwest Florida to read your wonderful books.
I’m not related, aside from our weird electromagnetic/ past life connection, but you are the favorite in our house.
What books should I put on my Kindle? see you in East Africa!
Linda, until I read your comment I never looked at the trip roster. What a treat that you and Paul are coming! Should be a great cruise…
