The Iowa Teen Apple

by Andrew Klavan · View Comments

in Books

I neglected to post this here last week, but I thought you might like to see the Golden Apple that arrived a few days ago — my prize for winning the Iowa Teen Reader Award. Iowa teen readers voted my novel The Last Thing I Remember their favorite. I put the apple on my mantlepiece between my new novel Crazy Dangerous and the new issue of City Journal which contains an article I wrote about my favorite joke. Hit the links and buy everything. I mean it. Do it right now.

One kind of interesting thing about this golden apple is if you look closely you’ll see it actually contains a reflection of me. I thought that was cool. My wife says the reflection is not there all the time, but it’s been there every time I looked so I think she is just messing with my head hoping to drive me insane so that I’ll let her use the remote.

So Long, Kid

February 22, 2012 Culture

My Wall Street Journal op-ed saluting baseball great Gary Carter now seems to be out from behind the paywall. I wish I had written it while he was still alive, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I’m not sure I would’ve done it even now, but one of my brothers browbeat me into it. [...]
