		<description><![CDATA[Apollon Apollonovich was in a certain sense like Zeus: from his head there emerged gods, goddesses and genii. We have already seen: one such genius (the stranger with the little black moustache), arising as an image, continued as a being there and then in the yellowish expanses of the Neva, claiming it was from them [...]]]></description>

Not me. Having just returned from a whirlwind trip to Hong Kong and Singapore, my internal clock is still eight hours ahead. Sadly, I was [...]]]></description>

Pulls on his gloves and in a blinding snowstorm starts
Upon his deadly journey: again some writer
Runs howling to his art.

		<description><![CDATA[I read Lorrie Moore’s latest novel, “A Gate at the Stairs,” a couple of months ago and came away less than impressed. This was not expected. I’ve enjoyed Moore’s past work immensely. And by “Moore’s past work”, I mean “Birds of America.” So, take what follows with that considerable grain of salt.
Don’t misunderstand me. A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading about the healthcare debate from afar is hard to take, but probably better for my own health than actually being Stateside. Here&#8217;s where I gather we are so far: The right wing is avoiding issues and instead working to frame the debate as fascism vs. independence. They appear to have fooled people into thinking [...]]]></description>

I cannot march up and down their ranks to to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you [...]]]></description>

More and more, it strikes me that hotels just don&#8217;t &#8220;get it&#8221; when it comes to the Internet. For me and most people that I know, the Internet is an absolutely essential service. This is true [...]]]></description>

Finally, Twitter is an unexpected [...]]]></description>
