being compared to Jackie Robinson.
Now if you’ll excuse me,
I should be getting off to temple…
and you should be getting
the fukk off my lawn.”
Herman Wouk –
Author, Pulitzer winner, centenarian.
May 27, 1915 – May 17, 2019.
Aged 103 years.
Most recognized for: Referred to as “An American Tolstoy” and “The Jackie Robinson of Jewish American Fiction,” he was… wait. Wait a goddamned minute. Who said that shit?! Surely not Jackie Robinson!… or any other black baseball player! Fukking ridiculous. Anyway, he wrote “The Caine Mutiny,” “War & Remembrance,” and… oh, who cares. Having crossed the 100 year threshhold, his existence – as far as this CDP is concerned – was pointless.
