A while back, I was saying I thought my old friend Ana Marie Cox deserved to be writing IN the New York Times, rather than being written ABOUT in the New York Times. (I haven’t seen her novel yet, but the fact that she even wrote one hints at the fact that she has some facility with the language that goes somewhat beyond the clever 50-word anal-sex jokes.) This week, she managed to do both, on the same day! Nice work, Ana Marie.
Close readers of everything ever printed within the last five years will know that the last time Ana Marie wrote longform for a print publication, it was here in The Rake. Hereby claiming our bragging rights, I think we’re entitled to our little portion of celebrity fairy dust, to sprinkle on ourselves here in the outback.
Media alert: For those of you who know that the second best thing to do on a Friday night is to watch TPT’s Almanac and imagine Eric Eskola wearing ONLY his scarf–I’ll be representing the Rake in a couchsit with other more interesting local media folks, including the gracious Dylan Hicks, the lovely Heidi Raschke, and the witty Claude Peck. Topic is reported to be a look back to 2005, and a look forward to 2006 in the wonderful world of art and entertainment. We’ll appear at the end of the program, so probably be getting bombed in the green room…
