Let me know if you want to borrow it. Definitely great reading. I somehow missed the first Siberia piece, so I need to track that down. Really enjoyed part two. He's a heck of a writer, sharp eye and a great voice. I have “Great Plains” and thought you’d enjoy it. Let me know if you want to borrow it. Definitely great reading.

And I mean they were very l-o-n-g. They must've totaled the entire book. (Great reading.) Since then the magazine has stopped publishing such long pieces, if you can believe that. Now they're just long. Also enjoyed Frazier's Siberia pieces. He's a great writer. His Shouts and Murmurs pieces in The New Yorker are always hilarious (think The Cursing Mommy). Sounds as if you had a wonderful time in Mexico. I read four very long excerpts of Great Plains many years ago in The New Yorker. And I mean they were very l-o-n-g.
