How'd you get your hands on The Loop? I would sell moderately important body parts to have it in mine before May.

Hey Dan -- interestingly enough, I was being prodded towards a bio of Guy from various quarters (perhaps your little bird?), but this spring discovered, by way of being asked to sit on an MLA panel on new biographies of modernist writers, that Andre Furlani seems to be at work on such a book already. Phew! I'm not sure my career -- my marriage, my nervous system -- could stand doing another biography of a deeply-learned-but-publicly-obscure complex writer! But I am scheduled to write a biggish essay on Guy's work year after next, so stay tuned.

I never read the Ed Park article, but I printed it out and started reading it. Sad stories about lost people always interest me

you turned up when I was searching Daisy Ashford's Young Visitors. Check out the nyrb group on librarything: http://www.librarything.com/groups/newyo....

Sorry for the cyberstalk by the way!
