Houellebecq.
“Jingle Bouelles,” “Silver Bouelles,” First No-
ouelle, “Decq
(houelle) the Halls,” Little Drummer Boy,”“Twhouelleve Days of Ecqsmas”: Oy!
Nor does he curse; for his
“Helle!”...“Hecq!”
Uly Poe pens dogg'rel verse. "'Tis fun," hums Uly, "I disburse." The gamut runs from bad to worse. The matter treated...? Quite diverse -- most, postcards from his universe, replies to grudges he must nurse. My summary...? Let me be terse: a blessing largely. (Not a curse.)
