Can't right now, but on my 'read ASAP' list, comprehensive 'DFWallace's literary quest' — the excerpts I've seen have been v. good.

Amazing conclusion: "Dear Audience,

I hereby give Sita Sings the Blues to you. Like all culture, it belongs to you already, but I am making it explicit with a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License. Please distribute, copy, share, archive, and show Sita Sings the Blues. From the shared culture it came, and back into the shared culture it goes."

One of the landmark songs of my twee-nage rootz. Remember before they got all kinda angry?

This is fantastic stuff — indispensable for tracking further Offworld convos/mentions.
