Oh For the Love of Bock
Although there was also the ten-day stretch earlier that year between the NYTBR review of Prep (not on the cover, though) and the profile of Curtis Sittenfeld—in the arts section, not the magazine. Which actually raises a good question, the answer to which I frankly don't have the time to look up myself: Anybody remember the last time the Times magazine published a feature about a woman novelist? (For the purposes of this discussion, Deborah Solomon interviews don't count; it's got to be an actual profile). As for Bock, I haven't seen Beautiful Children, so I have no opinion about that, but I have to admit I do like what he told Sarah Weinman about writing his novel, even though it makes me feel slothful: "Truth is I worked on this novel for 10 years. Not ten years of watching Seinfeld at 11 PM. Ten years of a high priority in my life. When I was dating the woman who is now my wife, I would only go out with her two nights a week because I couldn't give more time to that." (photo: Eric Ogden/NYT) Email This Post |
