I'm sure that Toboim's (sic) book will be better

Levels of Ambiguity!!!!

"Aha!" said Captain Turkey


Thus read the e-mail I got from my mother in response to an article I sent her way about Henry James and the plethora of books being written about him at the moment (and over the past couple years). To be fair to her (and to clarify that she is not, in fact, either a)insane or b)horrible at writing haikus) I should explain that line one is a reference to one of the works cited in the article, line two is a reference to one of my favorite things in the whole literary and entertainment world, and the third line is, well, another reference: once in third grade a boy a year below me spent six months working on a story consisting only of that.
I found it whimsical, her e-mail, and decided to share it.

My computer is, KNOCK ON WOOD IN A MAJOR WAY, fixed. I feel like I'm tempting fate writing even that. We'll see. Urgh.
