My plan to achieve literary fame—leaving my novel at book grabs in Queens—is finally paying off.

@Glenn__Kenny My old man took me to Night of the Hunter when I was 9 or 10. If idiots were laughing, i was too shook to notice. Mitchum scared me more than all the Nightmare on Elm Streets combined.

@nancyfranklin Oh thanks, enjoy!

(1) Today I'm sober 15 years. Life's been anything but dull. I've written a book. I've played in bands. I've dated, married, and divorced women way out of my league. Not possible if I was still boozing, selling NYU kids fake cocaine, catching beatdowns, waking up in the street.

@nancyfranklin Nancy, hi!

@BigMeanInternet Rereading Anna K. The short chapters are perfect for phone brains, 1000 words or less, the length of a word-game app. My copy from school is underlined with plot points and obvious themes. But at 42 I pick up the small details that sum up the whole of life. I can’t put it down.

@AnaKrivolapova Dope first sentence.

@DanteRoss Music was better when the machines had only ten seconds of sampling time. No cutting corners.

@faceyouhate If a young Henry James was given a 3-week deadline to write a Western. Altman took a lot more than just the plot.

@AnaKrivolapova Found a copy on a Strand dollar cart. Wild shit. Makes Bataille read like Willa Cather.

@Perez_Writes Spidertown by Abraham Rodriguez. Early 90’s south Bronx Bil-drugs-Roman.

Wish we'd gotten an album of Shane MacGowan covering bubblegum pop or slurring his way through standards. RIP.

@tonytost Scott already made the Duellists. Harvey Keital's Bonapartist fanatic, once you get past his Brooklyn accent, sheds more light on the era than any study of Napoleon himself.
