This is Jonathan Raymond, the author of The Half Life. I don't know him or anything, I just thought he looked nice, kind of like an archivist or something. Like someone I'd like to be friends with. It really helps that his book, which is his first novel, is excellent. This is what Joy Press of the Village Voice said about this novel..."The Half-Life gazes upon those fierce but ephemeral attachments that evade the history books. Multiple plots elegantly veer across the sprawling terrain. Raymond weaves together divergent characters and time frames, even as he notes that our sense of historical continuity is largely an illusion."
I saw it a little differently, but I'll gather my thoughts later. I am running out the door to meet a friend for dessert! You know who you are! Rushing me along, calling to say your bus is going to get you there earlier than expected!! Geesh, usually it's the other way around with transit.
