vague, beige, shadow-filled fiction

Joe sucks-off his cigarette?


Stilted sentences? Check. Gratuitous drug references? Got ‘em. Rich-boy-pining-for-authenticity dialogue? Oh, yes. James Franco is a good actor & a cool guy. This said, Esquire should just hire Perez Hilton as their new literary editor and jump the shark

"I sit in the driver's seat of my grandfather's old DeVille. It is night out and cool. Me and Joe, we just sit."

It's actually a good thing - I was starting to feel guilty for generalizing about M.F.A. workshop fiction. Phrases describing blood as 'ketchup randomness' justify my further arseholery ;P

Esquire now only publishes 'event' fiction. This is a fucking 'event' alright. In Franco's defense, everyone wrote crappy student fiction; not everyone had it published by a mag reduced to journalistic starfucking.

glad to see you're still around
