Re: (TV) richard hell in NYT

I, too, read "Go Now" and share the same feelings. Have not read any others, 
although I have read "Hot and Cold" (collections of essays) which is exactly 
what it says it is.

Also, I've read "The Bluest Eye", but not "Beloved". Huh.

hell:  read "go now."  not perfect, not bad.  has the feel of a first novel.  
interesting insight into the mind of richard hell.  has anyone read any of his 
others?  i would want to assume he has developed as a writer ("the bluest eye" 
is no "beloved," for example).  


just finished "the petting zoo" and would say the same -- imperfect -- the 
dialogue particularly -- but well worth reading for anyone with an interest in 
the new york art scene in general, or carroll in particular.
