Great piece as always! Some of my fave quotes from this one:
“Coincidence was destiny broken down into its smallest unit.”
— Geoff Dyer
“As was noted long ago, we are all innocent children in the tall forest of our clever inventions.”
— Ian McEwan
“Life looked straight in the eye was insupportable, as everyone knew by instinct. The great trick, contrary to the consensus of philosophy, is to avoid looking it straight in the eye. Everything askance and it all shines on.”

Let's hope this site doesn't cross the Rubicon to PJ O’Rourke's version of burlesque.
Gulp.
