dippin’ dots are awful. plus i don’t know that they could erase the blues that can come from velvet-souled-shoed guards and a firing line even if you do like them

I eat the chocolate outside of my last bite of a Snickers bar because I like the stuff inside better than I like chocolate, and I am incredibly OCD about my last bites of food.

But I like Dippin Dots.

I mean, considering inflation, $10 is, like, $1.50 in 1990 money. That’s a sweet Jesus Jones era deal.

I like the HarperPerennial concept of bringing two ‘noncontemporaneous’ writers together using the short story and a technicolor cover with pictures. I don’t think ten dollars for such a little book is unreasonable if HP lists the name of the translator of any of the stories that require it, provides a short introductory essay ‘connecting’ the two writers included in the volume, and pairs the two writers together either ‘randomly’ or ‘relationally’ (i.e. stylistically, similar content, etc.) or ‘biographically’ or even ‘mathematically’ (one of the ‘first’ to do such and such, etc.).

The 52 Stories series might be more fun if the more ‘iconic’ writers were maybe less ‘iconic’? Anyways, I like the concept, but I also agree with Alan, in part, and by implication, that this kind of publishing practice, or experiment, could be improved!
