Joshua Thorin Messer

Mr. Gaiman will be delighting us on October 6 here in Los Angeles:

Monday, October 6, 7:00pm
Lincoln Middle School
1501 California Avenue
Santa Monica, CA 90403

And I quote, “Event is free and open to the public, no tickets needed.” My feeling is that this could be a madhouse.

Where’s Neil

It brings me pleasure that Neil is visiting, even if Mr. Stephenson spurned us. Grand Rapids is apparently a big enough market…no respect, I tell ya.

The man who showed me that it was still possible to write Great Fiction is dead. The man who proved to me that fiction could be meaningful, challenging, literary, Important, and still be asphyxiatingly funny, wild, relevant, and FUN is dead. The man who made me think that writing still mattered is dead. The man who convinced me that being a writer was still possible and meaningful is dead.

David Foster Wallace is dead.
