vestige.org - A Literary Blog

Jonathan Yardley, in reviewing a new biography of e. e. cummings, takes two popular routes at once. First, he blasts the literati, and then he isolates American literature as something separate and almost superior to the literature from other nations. On page two he gets around to actually talking about the biography.

You have reached the bottom of the page. There is no content down here at all! I recommend that you scroll back to the top of the page, because there's plenty to read up there. You could even click on one of the links on the right hand side of the page. Oh yeah, while you're here I should just let you konw that everything on this site is copyright August C. Bourré, and it's not cool for you to copy it and post it somewhere else. But if you're quoting smallish bits from the site and linking back to it or in some way acknowledging August as the creator, then that's alright. I mean, not only will I let that slide, I'd actually encourage you to do that sort of thing. So go ahead, you've got my blessing. Just, you know, in case you were curioius. And if you weren't curious, then now you know anyway, in case it becomes an issue for you later. Have a nice day!
