The Writer's Almanac informed me that today is Michiko Kakutani's birthday. She is pretty much the most notorious book critic in the world. I did not know this when, twelve years ago, I wrote a wrote a
spunky letter to the editor of
The New York Times in response to her
article bemoaning the fact "that all of America has entered seventh grade." I was in tenth grade at the time, and I look great offense.
Reading her piece again today, I'm wistful for the days when our biggest problem with the Vice President was that he "describes himself as a deadhead." Ahhh, the 90s.
10 more days to Inauguration day.
356 days until this decade is officially behind us.
