The Literary Dick & I

So if you go to Jonathan Ames's websiteand click on "Literary Dick"you can find a letter I wrote asking about all the homosexual rumorsabout authors ever (you may have to dig around to find it).  Andyou can even read the answers that theLiterary Dick wrote in response to my questions.  I wish I didn'thave such a filthy mouth.  Sometimes I forget, especially when I'mwriting to an audience I cannot see, that not everyone is asfoul-mouthed or as open-minded as myself and my friends and that somepeople might not realize that when I speak of men "taking it up theass" it as a term of endearment.   I'm embaressed that myletter required the disclaimer that my language might be offensive tosome, though it may not have been my intention.  If only theyknew!  At the time I wrote the letter, I was up to my earsin  lesbian pulp fiction, which was the topic of my thesis, andI'd fallen so out of touch with the decent, well-mannered world. But I do-- sigh. . .-- love Jonathan Ames, and if you haven't read Wake Up, Sir!, you really should.  That and Wendy McClure's I'm Not The New Me (which I assure you  is, contrary to the stupid promoter's jacket quotes, nothing like-- shudder-- Bridget Jones) were the two funnest books I read while drowning in my thesis Spring Quarter.

I really wanted to end this post by proving that I'm not a total schmooby showing you the letter I wrote last spring (2004) to Tony Kushner inthe New York Times online edition.  He answered my questions,too-- how exciting!  And that letter was not crass or offensive atall.  But alas, I cannot find it on the NYTimes's website.  Ibelieve it ran only in the online edition.  Perhaps they don'tarchive online features.

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
