Good Lord.......Did you have to write about everything.!!!??! I don't know the writer which is apparently is your point...That no one knows Kobek.....but somehow He Gets It. Always a little uneasy reading writings that slowly reveal .......everything we thought about our lived time is probably false and we have been misled. A revelatory piece. However, I've subscribed just to see what you will be up to next. I hope Kobek is grateful to you.

Jarett has been taking real risks and busting his ass for years. He is also very fun to talk with on the phone. I'm really glad you have given his work the attention it deserves.
