Helen DeWitt\u2019s newest book is available! Online! Now!<\/p>\n

This is terribly exciting news. The Last Samurai<\/a> is easily one of my favorite reading experiences. And before your eyes roll, the book suffers only in that it shares a title with the groan-inducing film to which you think it is related. It\u2019s not. Read it.<\/p>\n

Anyways, Ms. DeWitt\u2019s newest book, apparently a collaboration with journalist Ilya Gridneff has yet to be officially published. However, the first chapter was made available in the latest edition of n+1<\/a> fueled my anticipation for its release. And now, Ms. DeWitt has offered the entire text sans images of Your Name Here<\/em> as a hefty PDF for a measly couple of bones through PayPal here<\/a>. I also recommend perusing her blog through the rss reader of your choice on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Directions for enjoyment:
\n1. Electronically direct $8 of your savings to Ms. DeWitt.
\n2. Download the PDF that magically arrives in your inbox.
\n3. Print out PDF \u2013 hopefully abusing the office printer in your location of work. Or your partner\u2019s location of work. Or (as a last resort) Kinkos.
\nEnjoy.<\/p>\n

Tell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
