Does he ever sleep?

Paul Krugman has won the Nobel Prize for economics this year. I didn't realize that, on top of writing a column twice a week for the NYT, he is a professor at Princeton.

Gotta love this part:
“For readers of the column, maybe they will read a little more carefully when I’m being economistic, or maybe have a little more tolerance when I’m being boring.”

Yes, yes I probably will.

Fun personal fact: my parents bought our house from another Nobel laureate in economics. He got it, like, fifteen years after we got the house, but still. Brush with Nobel glory!

The non-story has been that the head of the search committee said that American literature is "too isolated and insular." The head of the American Academy of Literature took offense and sent him a reading list. Here and here.

Sigh. Academic fights are so boring.
