Hey, Max, I didn't know about the Unspeakable connection, it wouldn't

Glad it made the NYT, Anny, thanks for that.
(apropos of nothing: yesterday this this guy I vaguely know stopped me
on the street: 'you dark horse' he said. I looked suitably bewildered.
'I've been reading your poems on the internet - they are so beautiful,
so so beautiful'
Fame at last, eh?)
