Suitable for framing
Hilarious article by David Sedaris on his art background.
One of my favorite parts:
I was looking for framing ideas one afternoon when I wandered into a little art gallery called the Little Art Gallery. It was a relatively new place, located in the North Hills Mall and owned by a woman named Ruth, who was around my mom’s age, and introduced me to the word “fabulous,” as in: “If you’re interested, I’ve got a fabulous new Matisse that just came in yesterday.”
This was a poster rather than a painting, but still I regarded it the way I thought a connoisseur might, removing my glasses and sucking on the stem as I tilted my head. “I’m just not sure how it will fit in with the rest of my collection,” I said, meaning my Gustav Klimt calendar and the cover of the King Crimson LP tacked above my dresser.

this is one of the few things in the new yorker that's made me pee myself. that and the "there's no hotline for ennui, harold" cartoon, actually, those are the only things. the rest is often drivel. you heard it here first. anonymous: literary critic extraordinaire.
good luck with the birds over there. hilariously/ironically, i've had an awful infection for three weeks thanks to bad eggs and i'm contemplating veganism now. enjoy your foie gras.
