WHITES: My review of Bret Easton Homeboy’s novel, American Psycho

Subtitled White boy kills, White boys die, but does White boy ever truly live?
Answer: Yes. Because white boy is rich, and you will never be rich, white boy. And other boys. And girls, of any color.
 
Who cares if he is unhappy to the point of killing folks (and who cares if they’re unhappy to be [...]

I Ruin Books 2

I took a minute away from my busy daily schedule, doing the dumb things I gotta do:

and wrestling super-saddam needs to be done! No matter, I’m here to write a new Shark Week post and also to ruin Denis Johnson’s the Stars at Noon.

Although I like [...]
