King of Pulp Fiction

When Hack’s masterpiece The Donkey Show was rereleased, the reaction to it on the Internet was so negative that he tried to once again off himself by sticking his head in the pizza oven of the Shakey’s where he’s the night janitor. But when he awoke hours later after realizing that he had mistakenly stuck his head in the men’s room toilet instead of the pizza oven, he decided that the reaction was exactly what he WANTED from the boring stiffs who commented on his novel, and he wrote this book in tribute to himself for always sticking to his artistic principles.

It got an even more hostile reaction on the Internet than The Donkey Show did.

A Nightmare on Rathburn Avenue

This started as a commentary on how Hollywood often casts maternal roles with young actresses who are laughably too young for them (a friend once told me that when she was 20, she was cast in a commercial as the mother of two teenage boys). It took a left turn into something very different about a difficult phase when I lived on a street called Rathburn Avenue. I’m not sure what it means, and I apologize for nothing.
