  1. I see in the NYRB that he doesn't like R. Crumb!

  2. But what I want to know is does his expression change when talking about something he dislikes?

  3. He doesn't like Crumb's women -- Crumb's sense of Yahweh as a character he's ok with. And when he was a kid, Thomas Mann... that's funny, why's there blood on my head? Oh! I must have fallen asleep standing up.

  5. Maybe that explains the expression.
