For those as gleefully obsessed with all things “Big Lebowski” as I am, Dwight Garner has a piece in the New York Times today about the new edition of the Dude-centric essay collection, “The Year’s Work in Lebowski Studies.”

It’s amusing to consider yet another permutation of the Coen Bros.’ 1998 noir-screwball comedy mashup, which has taken on an acid-tinged cult life of its own over the last decade. But there’s always something more to learn about the Dude’s worldview and how it can help us navigate the fractious frustrations of modern life. So I plan to pick up the new book.

I’m just gonna go find a cash machine.
