An elegant evening in Broadview

Between picking mushrooms off Bartlett pizza and making my way through a 1 liter bottle of diet Coke here in my dorm room, it's been a full day. I am currently preparing a presentation on Zola. I chose Zola because, in Friendster terms, he is friendsters with Dreyfus who is friendsters with Proust. Zola, it seems, wrote in French, which means slow going for me, but I won't hold it against him.
