And this Zadie Smith piece about speaking in tongues may require comment. But for now, I just wanted to share.

Wow, that IS a doozie. I'm particularly interested in what she had to say in “Manners for Young People” :).
"Everyone wants to be Cary Grant," said Cary Grant. " Even I want to be Cary Grant." It's not hard to imagine Obama having that same thought, backstage at Grant Park, hearing his own name chanted by the hopeful multitude. Everyone wants to be Barack Obama. Even I want to be Barack Obama." This would be more inspiring to me if it weren't so Warhol-esque...
