Liz Phair Has Five Jobs and One of Them is Novelist

Yup. Liz Phair reviewed Dean Wareham's Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance in this Sunday's NYTBR. Among other things, we have learned that her mother named her Elizabeth Clark Phair because she thought it would make a good New Yorker byline. But more importantly, and most exciting, is the fact that Liz is finishing up her first book -- "fiction, not memoir."

She probably would have started a blog, too, but haven't you heard?! People CAN DIE OF BLOGGING and it is FRONT-PAGE NEWS! ZOMG! We'd better go get ourselves some pills and rest and relaxation and time away from this Internet sweat-shop! Jeff Bercovici's rant is the funniest we've read so far.

I think I am a prime candidate for death by blogging. Who can I see about getting some paid time off? Do we have union reps?
