I'm a little fucked up. But not a lot. I guess to some people. But they're fucked up too. Sorry, I'm a little drunk. My favorite writers are Hemingway (original), McCarthy (brooding), Felisberto Hernandez (my designated obscure dead South American writer), William Cowper (to make it seem like I read poetry), Tao Lin (because I'm an asshole), Lord Byron (because I liken myself to a Hemingwayesque Byronic hero), Rudy Wilson (because he's weird), and John Barth (so people think I'm smart). I love reading and writing and sometimes I reference Harold Bloom . . . well, a lot of the time. Just to verify, I was only kidding about Tao Lin; he's an asshole.
