I also can’t resist posting this interview for your review, done for the Washington Post with the author of what has been lately called the “worst novel in the history of the English language.” Reading it puts a strange queasy nervous laugh in the dark corners of my head but I am compelled to put it on display here anyway. Probably in the hopes that by laughing at it I won’t find myself the subject of such an article at some point in the future.Attendant muses, hear thy humble supplicant. I’m almost ready, I promise. Please don’t let me fail this spectacularly.
