Books New York Times Crossword Puzzle: Wednesday, Jan 13, 2010
Posted by Henry Stewart on Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Kevan Choset might be our dirtiest crossword constructor; a look at his last puzzle (September 10, 2009—thanks for the easy cross-referencing, Rex Parker!) finds a suggestive answer ("Massage," 47A) that makes you start to see licentiousness in all the answers around it: a Wish Bone (20A) striding atop a Nest Egg (23A)?!? Mr. Choset! Don't you think that's A Bit Much (29A)? (Oh, and, trying to get "loin" much? [Lon, 12D; Loni, 60A])
ANYWAY: all in all this was an easy puzzle, especially for a Wednesday, which means that tomorrow promises to be a doozy. (I've noticed that a tough Wednesday usually means an easy Thursday, and vice versa. Is it just me? Did it happen once and ever since I've made it a self-fulfilling prophecy?) We'll see. In the meantime, read up on Iris Murdoch (17A); I haven't read Under the Net (and never even heard of The Sea, The Sea), but not because of a lack of effusive praise from my significant other. (Just because I have a lot of other books to read right now...sorry dear.)
