We've lately been watching old seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD, and I'm awed. This is great art, as good in its way as a Borges or DeLillo, Radiohead or Mingus, Gursky or Goya. Okay, maybe not quite that good - yet. Anyhow, I barely noted this profile in the New Yorker when it was originally printed in early 2004, but it's worth reading now if you have any interest in the show.
