hi…
i recently read a letter you wrote me from france in 2003. i love everything about it… the envelope bordered in red and blue stripes… your handwriting… your words… i want more letters. i will always love you and everything you do. i’ve been writing in the book you gave me for my birthday… it’s filling up nicely with my despair, hopes, etc. and a few drawings too. thank you!

You have gone so delightfully mad, my dear!

The next installment of my epistolary literary analysis of Anna Karenina will be sent to you in Brooklyn today. Working title: Frou-Frou: What a Stupid Name for a Horse.

Well I can’t imagine admissions officers would tumble across comments such as this! Ha! A-ha, haha!

More’s the putty, for if they delved so deep they would learn of our long discussions (carried through postal mail, of course) of the iterations of metaphysical characteristics made manifest in physical descriptions in Anna Karenina; also when you made clear to me the richly symbolic significance of food as sensual object in the novel, ie., Oblonsky sloppily consuming oysters, also, your summary analysis of these thematic concerns as a secondary draw for readers when the novel was placed popular TV host Oprah Winfrey’s book list, though they were obscured by the novel’s scandalous/accessible/primary appeal as a tale of appetites (if you will).

My this “weblog” does show your skill at bonding contemporary culture with the finer things! So contemporary, such an asset to any graduate program, non?

Note: Please consider this you graduate school recommendation.

Note: Hello? Is there anyone at home? Nick, come home from work. I’m afraid I’ve gone a bit mad here with my computer personalities.

PS The audiobook, if anyone is curious, is about more than porcupine sex. It’s called The Inner Circle by T.C. Boyle, and it got me to Georgia and back. If you’re taking a long road trip, I recommend listening to a novel about sex. It will keep you awake. I retract this advice if you’re driving with your parents.
