Sigh You've heard of PTSD. I think I have PSTD, Predicted Snow Traumatic Disorder. We have a forecast for fog, freezing drizzle, wintry mix and...the S word, for the whole coming WEEK.

Oscar Hijuelos is the first Hispanic American novelist to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for his 1989 novel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, which info I gleaned from the internet. And here is a snippet of an online review by Kevin Quigley, to give you fair warning. "...this song about "the consumptive nature of love" takes a couple of listenings before you get over the "What the hell?" first impression. Then it becomes really fun. Sample lyric: "I want to eat your sister (can't resist her) / I want to eat your map of Arabia." And it gets weirder from there."
