Correction: Aug. 24, 2005, Wednesday:
A chart in The Arts on Tuesday with an article about “Hunger’s Brides,” the 1,360-page first novel by Paul Anderson, rounded the figure for its weight imprecisely. The book weighs 4 pounds 9 ounces, not quite 4 3/4 pounds.

Let’s start writing today, now.Give me prose and I shall liberate you from white-colonization of Literature.Vande Literatum!

Ha Ha Ha.
