But have you changed your opinion of scat?

Speaking for myself, no. It can be refreshing in moderation but is overused in some songs.

What the fuck is up with THIS zombie thread?

For the record, I read _The Secret History_ for the first time a couple of years ago, and thought it sucked. I have had no interest in reading Tartt since then.

Re: Unresolved novels. Years ago, I had a conversation with Donald E. Westlake about a recent Ed McBain thriller. I was editing them both at the time.

Don: The killer turned out to be _a total nonentity!!!_  
Me: Much like real life.  
Don: Real life is why we have _novels._
