The Excavation of Lucy Ellmann

Who is this Lucy E. you're talking about? I have never ever heard about her before. Would you say you'd recommend any of these (or other) writings on her?
ReplyDeleteI'm suspecting this is just a part of a campaign of yours to make me act on your recommendation and finally read some Lucy E. I also suspect I am the center of the universe and that the world will come to an end when I die.
Sorry. I meant to say if I die.
ReplyDeleteHaha! You are immortal! And you've used italics successfully on a comment. Wow.
ReplyDeleteYes read Lucy Ellmann. Start with Sweet Desserts and then read Varying Degress of Hopelessness, Man or Mango, Dot in the Universe and Doctors and Nurses. There must be one copy in a Norwegian library.
It is noted. Or actually, it is not, since it's written right here on the internet, available from this or any other location, 24/7. As soon as I escape the clasps of the Middle East I vow to figure out a way to find me a Lucy E. (in the above described order) and at the very least put it on the same shelf as the other unread books I own, if not actually read.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. I am capable of unbelievable things, like immortality and italics.
Remind me to send you a copy of "Doctors & Nurses" on your next birthday if you have no luck. If your birthday is tomorrow, you'll have to make do with Eggers.
ReplyDeleteI also find asking questions in comments is a good test of reader-respondship. Don't you? Isn't it cold all of a sudden? Who's the sexiest Chilean miner?
I happen know Mari's next birthday is about timed so you should ship it NOW.
ReplyDeleteSweet Desserts, eh? But Man or Mango sounds so appealing... almost like an unaswerable question...
Okay... I will see what the library has of hers... (I may have limited options)
Mark - definitely a good test. Just see how many times I have come back to visit to this one post by the repeatedly unignorable comment replies you provide. It is cold, but not all of a sudden. Norway, remember. And Mario, the younger, because he is the only one I remember at the moment. Though he is balding and has that coal dust disease...
ReplyDeleteTami - tsk, tsk, a lady never reveals her birthday (or is that age?). Unless it's on Facebook. We tend to reveal more than we're aware of there.
Tart: Man or Mango is awesome. It involves beekeeping and Moby Dick. As I said, awesome.
ReplyDeleteCC: Mario is a cutie. The Yorkshire miners, of which my great uncle was one, in 1974 never had this much TV coverage. Unfairness!
You are hereby excused from responding to this. If you actually returned to read it, you are madder than I thought.
Mad! Mad! Mad! Mario! Mad! Yorkshire? Mad! Your uncle lived? I can't follow that with another "Mad!", though now that there is a sentence between... Mad!
ReplyDeleteI only returned to tell you that you remind me of David Bowie. In a non-creepy eye way. (I solemnly promise not to return to read any further replies to this post.) (Oh, who am I kidding. Of course I'll return. Because of the MAD!)
David Bowie? Is he a prolific blog commenter, or did you mean a facial resemblance?
ReplyDeleteWhoops. That was a question. No need to answer. I'll take the compliment/insult and be grateful. (I'm a big Bowie fan, esp. the Scary Monsters album. It's no GAAAAAAAAAME!).
