Somewhere, a movie is being filmed. Action. Roland sips an espresso. "Ah, childhood!" he thinks, and thinks of the Province of his sinful youth. "Why are we here on the damned earth!" he exclaims, and randomly sleeps with a leggy American. "Do you think my legs are beautiful?" She asks. "Do you think my ass is beautiful? Do you think my hands are beautiful? Do you think my breasts are beautiful?" Everything turns red. Roland runs to the sea followed by a sweeping orchestra. "I will never know," he whispers at the shore, staring off into the endless Mediterranean mists, plain-faced in contemplation.<br /><br />The End. <br /><br />;)Bobby Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774022406093199955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-65411919743342937892009-06-18T16:27:04.389-04:002009-06-18T16:27:04.389-04:00thought this story was alright, pretty good in pla...thought this story was alright, pretty good in places but pretty overdone in others<br /><br />even though the dude mentions a lot of european authors in this interview it feels very american to me, this story. reminds me of barry hannah's ray or even william gass<br /><br />thought some stuff in the interview was pretty controversial, particularly the smoking jacket line, but that's ok. <br /><br />overall it's there, he did it, it's a story.w3fthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583960484622362444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-91810742215293441172009-06-18T16:15:50.594-04:002009-06-18T16:15:50.594-04:00i liked the interview a lot. mr. alter gas a good ...i liked the interview a lot. mr. alter gas a good understanding of language. i wish i was that clear on it when i was nineteen.gustavo.riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109676355533703698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-39481399935753415972009-06-18T16:10:22.407-04:002009-06-18T16:10:22.407-04:00Considerable thoughts. yessss
