Yes, I was living in NYC at the time, with no connection to U.Chicago, altho I had met Tom once through a friend. I later went to University of Iowa fiction program and now, coincidentally (to Richard above), live in Amherst MA, and am working on the never-ending novel.

Did you ever get a view of Baffler #5? – I always liked that one. Thanks for pulling these to light again.
