      Victor LaValle is a dubious writer. I tried to read The Ecstatic and Big Machine and they were uber-mediocre, esp. Big Machine. Dude spends way too much time getting his characters to and from one place to another. Boring. So is Kunkel.

      I’m surprised John Wray didn’t make either list.

      I like LaValle a lot, actually. I liked Slapboxing with Jesus & Big Machine.

      Me too. Especially because he was born in 71.

      I am excitedly, almost breathlessly, awaiting the list of Everyone Under 40.

      I heard LaValle speak recently and I thought he was incredibly insightful. I wasn’t nuts about Big Machine, though. I really wanted to like it, but I just wanted invested.

      A list is an advertising device, ancient.

      So.

      Sew.

      Exactly.
