It's Friday and it's been a long week, so why not pass along an out-of-the-blue and entirely implausible rumor that just showed up in the inbox? A tipster passes along some speculation about our old friend Nick Sylvester:
Speaking of our bespectacled beauty, word on the street is that he's in talks to write front-of-book for the new yorker. totally can't substantiate it, but someone on the inside might.
"In talks to write FOB"? Absolute best-case scenario, we'd imagine that translates as, "Write something on spec, if you want, and we'll probably take a look at it." (Might Sylvester be shading the truth? The horror!) But anyone know anything on this? We're looking at you, Paumgarten...

Why would you be looking at Paumgarten? He stepped down to become a staff writer 10 months ago (which, I can only assume, is the last time you had a pitch rejected). In any case, agree it's mere fantasy. Or will be, once Susan Morrison reads your post.
Damn. Knew I need to get through this 14-inch-tall stack of New Yorkers sitting next to my sofa.
