Andre Williams in Ann Arbor!

Very happy to see that Andre Williams, of The Bacon Fat fame, is getting a piece of the baconmania pie. The advert is cut and pasted below, but I did not know that Zingerman's had a whole bacon book,* or that Andre Williams had written a novel. Culturally literate people will recall that The Bacon Fat is that new kind of jump, where you wind up twice and then end with a bump. Also worth noting that The Bacon Fat is sweeping the South, while Ann Arbor is Big 10 territory. Does this performance suggest that the SEC is preparing to annex the Big Ten?

Andre's novel is in the vein of Iceberg Slim and ghetto/whore/drug-dealing/late 1960s gangster genre. I interviewed him at the Ogden Museum where he explained the plot. It was wild, and I should get an audio copy of the interview.

The authors concluded that "although BCT produced slightly higher response rates and longer median progression-free survival than CVD alone, this was not associated with either improved overall survival or durable responses. Considering the extra toxicity and complexity, this concurrent BCT regimen cannot be recommended for patients withsaf metastatic melanoma."
. While he hasn't been able to develop phonetic reading skills yet, he is becoming quite adept at what is known as "sight" reading where he memorizes and recalls whole words, and he sure knows his planets!
