Tag Archives: haruki murakami. South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami. October 26, 2015. A few days ago I picked up. South of the Border, West of the Sun. It was one of the only Murakami novels that I hadn't read yet and I felt it was time to crack it open. I sat down at around seven at night to read it and six hours later collapsed into bed, having stayed up hours later than I planned to read the entire book in a sitting. On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning.

Cult of Loretta by Kevin Maloney. November 13, 2015. Not too long ago Kevin Maloney. Wrote a book. It’s called Cult of Loretta. And published by Lazy Fascist. It’s a short book and moves quickly. I read it in one very awesome sitting. That first chapter sets the tone for the rest of the book, with the constant threat of death looming over everyone, with questions of what comes after and what life (and possible rebirth) really mean, and a healthy number of references to Nietzsche. What do you mean? The te...

Tag Archives: pitch black humor. Cult of Loretta by Kevin Maloney. November 13, 2015. Not too long ago Kevin Maloney. Wrote a book. It’s called Cult of Loretta. And published by Lazy Fascist. It’s a short book and moves quickly. I read it in one very awesome sitting. Loretta is the happy-go-lucky pregnant drug addict who slips from one of the boys to the next in such a quick succession that they’re, in at least one case, actually tripping over each other for their turn. i.e. What do you mean?

Tony Takitani by Haruki Murakami, a really fucking strange story that is written completely in summary and also in the third person omniscient perspective, so there is that. May 22, 2015. I start every day by reading a Haruki Murakami story so that I can spend all my days confused. Obviously, I had to read. At one point, as it is about halfway through. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. That day came to pass and I got up, made coffee, fed my cat, and started reading it. Unlike every other story in. It is a ge...

How to Send Incomplete Work and Get Thanked for It, a Case Study. April 12, 2014. If someone had told me when I first started writing that it was a good idea to send a client partial work, I would have laughed them out the front door. Then I would have written an obnoxious tweet about it and continued to polish my writing until I thought it was perfect and ready to be sent off. Sending Sloppy Rough Drafts. The Patented Peter John McLean Approach:. Do you drink from a sippy cup? Yeah yeah, I get it. I...
