finshed flauberts salammbo yesterday. heavy sleading but very wonderful. what made it amazing was how totally different a book it was from madame bovary and sentimental education. you could recognize the writer from the prose, but cast in such a different world and subject really quite amazingly versatile.
randy the night guy said the most incredibly racists thing tonight while we were talking waiting for margaret to pick me up today. it was half time of the knicks game on tv and they had a bunch of black kids on copurst in african clothes dancing and chanting and playing drums in some tradtional african performance and randy says" its feeding time at the bronx zoo".
