The 9. 0s were full of day- glo vomit that people proudly wore with no irony. We were fanny- packed and heat- activated; we wore condoms on our backwards Starter jerseys and kept the tags on our Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls so everybody would know just how much we'd be willing to pay to look like an extra from a Will Smith video.

Great American Novel Contenders From the Past Decade. This morning, we woke up to a poll over at Publisher’s Weekly. While we have no beef with the books on PWxyz’s list, we did notice that only two of the options — Edward P. Jones’s The Known World and Junot D. Are there no more than two worthy contenders for Great American Novel status from recent years? We think there are — at least if we take Michael Gorra’s description.
New York Times Book Review senior editor Dwight Garner called it “the wittiest, angriest, most exacting and most desolate work of fiction we. Can’t get any more American than that.
