Zadie Smith would be kind of an incredible choice, but I don't think she'd take it... I feel like it'll be someone on sort of a downward arc, career-wise.
Re: “So Now Who's Going to Run the Paris Review?”
I don't think Hemon has the kind of Northeastern lit clout required, insofar as he's Chicago by way of Bosnia. Benjamin Kunkel would be good, mainly because he'd restore the grand Plimp-Dog tradition of casual loucheness and inappropriateness to recent Barnard-grad slush readers. (I just assume this about Kunkel, he's never actually made a pass at me...)

"Kaufman is generally credited as the real mad scientist behind Jonze's first two films, but as last year's bloated and exhausting Synecdoche, New York suggested, Jonze's ability to keep the lid tight on Kaufman's lightning in a bottle has been underestimated."
yes, this, very much so. who would've thought "lightning in a bottle" could be so visually dull.

Gah. Joyce Carol Oates at 5 to 1? That's no good, man.
