This weekend I was exercising at home with the TV on for company, and when I started flipping channels, all of a sudden the face appeared of Walter Kirn, one of my old Princeton classmates. He was on CSPAN talking with Brian Lamb about his life as a novelist and literary critic and his recent adventures blogging on Andrew Sullivan's website.
It turns out that Walter also has a new novel coming out this October, titled Mission to America. And, one of his previous novels, Thumbsucker, has just been made into a movie.
Personally, my favorite Walter Kirn novel is She Needed Me, but they're all good. Walter has a quirky sense of humor and a sharp eye for detail.
