If anything, see if you can locate the story Emergency. I have never read anything liike it. Actually, the entir chain of stories would take one long sitting.
I had the pleasure of seeing the author read. He read two full stories. A woman seated next to me had never heard
them/read them. She was giddy and harrowed like she had been at a carnival ride that left her white knuckled.I have never quite experienced such eloquent, painful, black comedy to date.
Oh, oh. I went on too long.
But this came out, hmmmm, maybe 1993? Guessing?
The movie is actually o.k. But the main character is Billy Cruddup, a hopelessly handsome, charismatic man. I like to think the the character known through the stories/novel known simply as F*ck Head had less natural charm. Not a bad movie though. Lots of cute VW bugs and crazy young people in old farmhouses.
I dig a pony.
