We beat you this time, Bookslut!
This is total hearsay and rumor-mongering, but according to some shady characters that greenideas knows (i.e. message board dwellers), Colson Whitehead (the author of the mind-blowing 'Intuitionist' and 'John Henry Days', one of which was nominated for Pulitzer, we'll let you guess which) will finally release his third novel some time in the late fall/early winter time-slot, and it is entitled "Apex Hides the Heart". This may or may not be the book that Whitehead has foreshadowed in interviews for the past couple of years as '[being] about band-aids'. The gaggle of marketing folks over at Doubleday sent us an enchanting form letter in reply to our inquiry about release dates/cover art/plot, and so there's not much to report on this for the time being. If you're aching for some Colsonified prose stat though, you can always pick up a copy of The Colossus of New York, which is a series of impressions regarding the city, at your local Amazon.com

Dear greenideas,
Let me begin by saying I'm a longtime reader, first time commenter. You bring a vibrant 24 bit cathode ray tube glow into the drab, sepia-toned lives of so many. That said, isn't anybody over there proof reading these days? "forshadow" ? You owe us better.
God bless, Ace

Hi Ace,
You're right, I xxed that one up big time. As an explanation, let me just say that I think I had been awake for about 21 hours when I wrote that, and when I don't get enough sleep, I seem to suffer from some sort of digit-centric palsy that makes typos just drip from my fingers. Good call though, thanks for pointing it out.
