WORKING MAN’S DONUT
Of donuts, Ben McGrath says, “no food sneers so winningly at pretension.” McGrath also says, in a recent New Yorker article, that during the 2004 Presidential campaign, Al Sharpton criticized Bush for making a donut speech: “a lot of sugar and syrup on the outside, and nothing but a hole in the middle.”
May DONUT DAYS live up to its namesake and sneer at pretension. Yet may it have more substance than a Bush speech which, no offense to conservatives, isn’t hard. I have decided, indeed, to pursue the book, to write it to the best of my ability, and to see what happens.
Party on, donut. Party on.
