Thursday, 5/15/08: "Saying Goodbye to Justine Henin"

One time, Verlyn Klinkenborg watched a tennis star practice. She looked taller than he expected. He likes her because she is emotional, and he entertains kinky fantasies about "the pleasure of watching her grow into herself" and "the beauty of her extraordinary backhand."

Other Klinkenborg-related news items:
  • Has anyone else been following the schizophrenic schedule of his column lately? Two weeks went by without a single column; then in the past two weeks alone it's appeared on Saturday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Does he just write them whenever he feels like it?
  • "Saying Goodbye to Justine Henin" would be a good title for a Judy Blume novel, or a Judd Apatow comedy.
