Sam Lipsyte?

Hittade en mycket liten länk på DN med följande text: "USA:s roligaste författare samtalar - Läs Gary Shteyngarts intervju med Sam Lipsyte på litteratursajten Loggernaut." Här hittar ni intervjun. Shteyngart är jag med bekant med sedan tidigare, och honom tycker jag mycket om (recension här), men vem är Lipsyte? Honom har jag missat helt. Eftersom DN nämner honom i så fint sällskap kan det nog vara en ide att läsa honom, tror ni inte det? Här är två av hans titlar, följda av korta beskrivningar:

Homeland
"What if somebody finally wrote to his high school alumni bulletin and told...the truth! Here is an update from hell, and the most brilliant work to date, by the novelist whom Jeffrey Eugenides calls "original, devious, and very funny" and of whose first novel Chuck Palahniuk wrote, "I laughed out loud---and I never laugh out loud."

The Eastern Valley High School Alumni newsletter, Catamount Notes, is bursting with tales of success: former students include a bankable politician and a famous baseball star, not to mention a major-label recording artist. Then there is the appalling, yet utterly lovable, Lewis Miner, class of '89---a.k.a Teabag---who did not pan out. This is his confession in all its bitter, lovelorn glory."

SUBJECT STEVE
"Steve's fettle is absolutely fine, but nevertheless, he's dying - of a mystery disease that just might be boredom. At least, that's what the guys in the white coats say. They're not doctors, they're just guys in white coats, and the subject's name isn't Steve, either, but we'll get to that."

Vad tror Ni därute? Jag tror!
