At the beginning of my writing career in the 1960s, I did a lot of book reviewing and became a regular reviewer with The Progressive and The New Leader magazines (where I was one of the first to praise the short fiction of Andre Dubus). Now and again I'd be sent a book in galley proof to review, which I found exciting, like getting a sneak preview of something.
Today I received my POD copy of Sodom, which I called a "galley proof" for old time's sake, even though it doesn't resemble one. It's just a paperback. But Galley Proof is printed on the cover, my little joke with myself. I should be able to start it this weekend. I've already made some changes since ordering this. Does it ever end? No. Work gets abandoned, not ended.
