thanks for the tip. it's funny because i recently spoke to my supervisor about doughnuts and saul bellow (on separate instances) and it's nice to know he wasn't hitting on me, lmao.
actually the saul bellow conversation went something like this: boss: can i confess something to you? me: okay. boss: for the longest time, i kept confusing salman rushdie with this other writer guy... me: who? boss: what's his name...
couldn't remember the author's name, and i kept reassuring him that it couldn't have been such a dumb mistake since i confuse people all the time. then we realized he'd been confusing salman rushdie with saul fucking bellow. i was like "d00d, they're not confuseable AT ALL." but, y'know, he got it off his chest and i absolved him of his literary sins so all's well that ends well. & in his defense, he's a really smart guy. just confused two very very different authors.
