I recently listened to The New Yorker's Fiction Podcast of Jonathan Ferris's short story, The Dinner Party, which I definitely recommend.

I think I'll keep my eye out for The Unnamed, but I won't be running out to pick it up.<br /><br />Coffee, I know the feeling!<br /><br />Leica, Haha me too! That's half the reason I picked it up in the first place :)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780185535345559390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331403748871569013.post-5913624539970387082010-10-28T09:01:43.309-05:002010-10-28T09:01:43.309-05:00Sounds interesting!

Maybe I should have included that in the review... <br /><br />Coffee and a Book, It's not for everyone but maybe you would have liked it?

At first I thought that meant you were seeing it from a characters point of view and I spent awhile trying to figure out who "I" was but eventually I realized that wasn't the case. Then I just enjoyed reading it as though I was part of this ad team. It did have its sad moments but overall I enjoyed.<br /><br />Love the review :)Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.com
