Equal-to or greater-than Keith Gessen in terms of fame, power, or influence
If you are a person, not necessarily a writer, equal-to or greater-than Keith Gessen (wikipedia) in terms of fame, power, or influence (on my target demographics) and would like to read Richard Yates (Melville House, 2009) in 20 to 50 days for possible blurbing please email me at binky.tabby [at] gmail.com.
*UPDATE* Some people who are not equal-to or greater-than Keith Gessen (in the above terms) have emailed me. I felt bad telling people they are not equal-to or greater-than Keith Gessen in the ways described above. Keith Gessen's fame, power, or influence cannot be quantified, I know, so I understand if people email me. I hope people do not feel sad when I say they are not as famous as Keith Gessen. *UPDATE*
*UPDATE, FAME QUANTIFIED* According to Google Trends Keith Gessen is .5x as famous as me (probably me combined with the pianist named Tao Lin), Lorrie Moore is the same famous as me, Richard Yates is 1.5x more famous than me, and Miranda July is 26x more famous than me (link) as of 10.08.08.
I am more famous in Seattle than the other people except Miranda July which makes sense because I have things in The Stranger. I have dominated NYC in the last 12 months in terms of Masta Killa and Sunny Day Real Estate (link).
Kafka is 2.84x more famous than Ernest Hemingway (link) and 28.2x more famous than Miranda July (link). Philip Roth is 2x more famous than Miranda July, Jenny Lewis is 2x more famous than Philip Roth, Moby is 24x more famous than Philip Roth, and Barack Obama is 76x more famous than Philip Roth (link). *UPDATE, FAME QUANTIFIED*

Based on my recommendations, over twenty of your books have been purchased on Amazon by friends of mine. Where does that rank my influence?
smoke trees
I want to be famous.
you seem influential in your 'circle of friends' dj berndt, thank you for promoting me so hard to your friends
however, i think you still rank below 'keith gessen,' but he is older than you, i think
I'm pretty sure my daughter is somewhat awed by me. She's 11 months old. And my wife is occasionally not disgusted by me so much. Where does that rank me?
how did you determine this? did you compare google numbers?
People more famous than Keith Gessen don't comment on blogs or click on facebook links. I hope a famous person proves me wrong, like Michael Stipe or Ewan McGregor or Chris Martin.
Ryan Manning should write a blurb and just say something like 'Kombucha Bitches Unite' or 'Victory in Japan' or 'I am fucked existentially' on it. That would make sense in my perception of your entire life, which is made up only by what I read on your blog posts/comments and facebook notes.
thank you for saying that
brad,
based on what you said in your comment i think you rank as 'less-than' 'keith gessen' in terms of fame, power, and influence on my target demographics
soffi,
i don't feel i 'determined' anything, i did not compare things
will,
getting blurbs is only for financial reasons currently, in this post, i hope that makes sense to everyone
Well, damn. I guess I need to have more kids then.
see the cash flow be the cash flow,
i read well but i am relatively
unknown, don't know how i blurt,
i don't want to be famous without
money for gates first, 9000v fence
You could just expand the title of the book to:
Richard Yates: "[Lin]'s prose sits low in the reader's stomach like a piece of organic spelt bread." -Keith Gessen
If that's allowed...
that would be a nice title
richard yates is big in yahoo trends statistics
richard yates thinks 'fuck google trends'
richard yates thinks 'fuck trends'
richard yates thinks 'i am the original gangster. fuck tao lin'
he thinks all fo this, throughout eternity, while rotting somewhere anywhere nowhere
i think it makes sense richard yates is famous in yahoo trends because i feel that older people use yahoo instead of google and more older people than younger people know about richard yates, i feel
you should write an article called "the quantification of fame." i love jenny lewis.
your archives link is not working.
