Has a Frenchman Written the First Novel Without Verbs? That's the report, anyway. At The Slithery D, Dylan approves, adding that "clever descriptions, not actions, are what make literature great."

Jeremy Blachman Says: "Keep Reading" Having completed two years at Harvard Law, Jeremy starts working as a summer associate tomorrow, and he plans to blog about it: "I'm not sure I've seen a ton of summer associate stories.
