A Journey around my skull is a great blog (and I hear the book is too). Thanks for posting.

Tomorrow will be the 70th anniversary of Frigyes Karinthy's death, which is more or less why I ended up there.

I was wondering if he'd done any Ford Madox Ford, Faint of Butt.

From the interview transcript with my suggested edit: ...the common denominator of these accounts is the ~~existential predicament of~~ immediate physical threat to life and limb. I know, I'm being a bit cranky, but the phrase gets thrown around like this a lot, and I'm at a loss to understand what additional information is conveyed by its inclusion.

Gilbert Alter-Gilbert. Myself, I can't decide if that name is more Borges, Heller, or Mel Brooks.
