good job

it's confusing to me that people are offended (or disappointed?) because you don't care if people like your books

Everyone else interviewed before you seems to be a white male. Breaking down walls, bro.

"See us in ya city, man, give us a pound, cuz if a nigga still moving then he holding it down." -Lil Wayne, "Georgia Bush."

"Oprah Winfrey [was] the world's only black billionaire between 2004-2006." -Wikipedia, "Black billionaires."

Being brown while simultaneously being successful/popular/rich/healthy/alive is itself anti-racist activism.

I don't know if T-Lin is into that shit, though.

not sure how the interview will go over with unsuspecting palahniuk readers.

nice interview. i've always wondered how Palauhniuk's readers would react to you.

i feel like it would be interesting for your brand if something 'drastic' happened to you. like, you found yourself in psychiatric ward or living in a commune with people on 'heavy drugs' and you blogged daily, in a reporting way, from that 'alien' environment, a la the jail scene in SFAA. it could be like 'The Notes of. . .', for a sustained period, and your blogspots would be art in a more 'explicit' manner. feel like hits and interest would increase in a reality tv way even if, like reality tv, it was fabricated.

i'm usually not a fan of ambiguous tone (see the movie drag me to hell), but i enjoyed trying to figure out whether TL is on the autism spectrum, making fun of the interviewer, or a sexy combo of the two.
also appreciated the guidelines to becoming a TL groupie.

Finnegan's Wake? Really the worst book to have to read for eternity? It seems like something more straightforward would be worse. With Finnegan's Wake, I think you could see different jokes and connections every time. With a lot of other books, you'd fall more quickly into stale reading habits. But I guess it wouldn't matter anyway, because it's difficult to read while you're burning in a fiery pit.

@lorrie Yeah maybe, but fuck me if I had to read Catcher in the Rye or The Great Gatsby for the rest of eternity. Definitely would prefer something less comprehensible.

finnegans wake [sic]

not sure about finnegans wake, felt 'under pressure' during that area of the interview, was on gchat

with more consideration i would probably refrain from answering that question or answer by saying 'any book would be okay'

feeling that i would want to have enough control re 'my psyche' that i would be able to learn to 'enjoy' 'any book' maybe

Cool interview. It made me wonder if I might have bought a stolen american apparel u-neck dress from you via ebay. Also, do you think blogging is fiction or non-fiction (or neither/both/wtf)?
