Bigger than a dog’s dinner: What is the appropriate thing to say when a customer buys Infinite Jest as a summer read?
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
We sold 2 copies of IJ yesterday (which is frankly unprecedented). I had two opportunities to say something other than ‘Thanks very much. I hope you enjoy it. Or worse, ‘have a nice holiday.’ What was i thinking? I could have said:
1. Do you want me to double-bag that?
2. Can we still be friends? When will ever I see you again?
3. How much extra does it cost to fly on Rynair with an Infinite Jest?
4. Are you traveling with a significant other? Do you love them?
5. What part of Chechnya exactly are you staying in?
6. Yeah, this is the one. 2666 and House of Leaves don’t do shit on the blogosphere.
7. Do your wrists hurt when lifting pots of boiling vegetables off the stove? I can tell.
8. My friend Dave mashed it up in a single sitting. I shit you not. Bare truth.
9. Thank you Richard. Thank you Judy.
10. Have you been watching le Tour?
