I do not look back much. It has saved my ass. I wish book publishing would  stop what with the reader has to meet the writer thing. I just don’t get it. Why can’t the reader identify that thing they have for delving into what happened during your divorce. I have apologised numerous times. I have been called everything in the book. And more. Why can’t publishing focus on the work. Not the person who wrote it. Sir, what do you do all day and all night I read books I read books. The Booker has me by the balls. The Irish writers make me jump up and down in those heartsick wounds upon the rocks. Prophets and Boozers, I love the Irish, why are these people writing all these fucking amazing books. My favorite title: All The Names Have Been Changed. These books rock and roll. It’s grit. It’s the wind. It’s the cemetery. Where is your daddy. It’s Ireland. It rains a lot lot. Are the Irish writers all moving to London. Something there. There. What would Prophet Song be with punctuation, it so slays punctuation, story telling survives despite punctuation. Why. Because it was a part of the story and how it dripped through your fingers and there is no justice, but some endure because they choose to. – Tim Barrus
