It’s very good and it is in NYC, but $96 for prime rib is a little much.

David Foster Wallace on what it actually means to be a great artist:
It's spring 1986, and Wallace is a hyper-educated grad student learning to write, coming out of an avant-garde tradition.
The problem: his teachers are all realists with no interest in postmodern work.
He explains the delusion he was living under at the time. They didn't like his stuff, and he had a comforting explanation for why:
"They don't like my stuff. I believe that it's not because my stuff isn't good, but because they just don't happen to like this kind of aesthetic."
Then comes the honest admission:
"In fact, known to them but unknown to me, the stuff was bad, was indeed bad."
So there he is, hating his teachers for exactly the wrong reason. And then he goes to see "Blue Velvet".
Wallace describes the film as an entirely new and original kind of surrealism.
Maybe a debt to Hitchcock somewhere, but it "no more comes out of a previous tradition" than anything.
As he puts it: "It is completely David Lynch."
He points to one scene that crystallised it. A character called the yellow man is shot in an apartment, and the main character runs in to find the guy dead but still standing there, no explanation, he's just standing. Wallace calls it almost classically, francophilistically surreal. And yet, he says, "it seems absolutely true and absolutely appropriate."
That's when it hit him:
"The point of being postmodern or being avant-garde or whatever wasn't to follow in a certain kind of tradition, that all that stuff is BS imposed by critics and camp followers afterwards."
Then the core of it:
"What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves. They've got their own vision, their own way of fracturing reality. And that if it's authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings."
He's careful not to overclaim. He's not suggesting the film would do this for any other viewer. But for him, Lynch "very much helped snap me out of a kind of adolescent delusion that I was in about what sort of avant-garde art could be."
The proof was in what happened next.
He'd gone with two poets and one other fiction writer. Afterwards they all went to a coffee shop and just sat there slapping themselves in the forehead.
"It was this truly epiphanic experience."

Only Zionists think skipping the Israel Day Parade says anything about Jews.
The overwhelming majority of Orthodox Jews — most of whom live in the NY-NJ area — never attend this parade, because it is a parade for a foreign state, not for the Jewish people.
We are glad our mayor understands the difference.

Current reading is this amusing 1751 novel, in which a lap-dog passes through various adventures as part of a satirical romp around Georgian Britain. My favourite incident so far is the dog defecating on a copy of George Whitefield's memoirs.
