Funny that you would mention JSF. There was an article by him in last Sunday's Parade Magazine called "Making Holiday Traditions Our Own." It's probably online too. Did you know that he lives (or lived) in the same building in Brooklyn as Heath, Michelle, and Matilda?

We know they worked on some sort of 'Save Brooklyn' project together. There's a photo of the four of them somewhere here. He's married to Nicole Krauss, the author of The History of Love. I used to think he was married to Nicola Kraus, author of my beloved Nanny Diaries, but he's not.

To tie this conversation to another thread, the first time I ever heard of JSF was in the New Yorker, when they did a special issue featuring child young writers. This was right before Everything is Illuminated came out, and his story was an excerpt from that novel.
Front-Ranger:
Dang! I'm behind already! But one thing I did achieve: washing and polishing all the ceramic serving pieces, silver and crystal, as well as the glass shelves they are displayed on in my dining room. And...I didn't break anything!! I have no idea how I accomplished it all!!
Meryl:
Thanks for bumping this thread, Lee. It's always fun to re-read. And congrats on getting that big job done! 8)

Thanksgiving = Native American genocide.
And feel free to add Columbus Day to that list while you're at it.
I'm not saying you shouldn't celebrate it.... just celebrate it in the correct context. It didn't end happily for everyone. :-\
