James Franco has sold a collection of short stories to Scribner. I have to say, I have more hope for this one than, say, Ethan Hawke, if just because Franco’s book was championed by Amy Hempel, who is one of the best living short story authors in America right now.
“He is a surprising and powerful new literary voice.”

Thank you for that, Paul.
He is also sweet & ador-able!
He looks like Charles Dera!
That was totally for you, @1.
i’m a huge amy hempel fan. she doesn’t give out recommendations often, does she? doesn’t hurt that i love james franco anyway…
I’m interested in anything James Franco says or does. I’ve been a fan of his since his James Dean TV movie. His performance was incredibly spot on and I don’t remember him disappointing me since.
Sticking his tongue out like that reminds me of a Peanuts cartoon showing Charlie Brown writing a letter.
I still remember the best line from Ethan Hawke’s book, which I skimmed once at a cabin in upstate New York: “There was something about New York that made me feel like a Texan, and something about Sarah that make me feel like a man.” You’re welcome.
I have read worse books than Ethan Hawke’s book. Not that it was awesome, but… it definitely could have been worse.
I would fuck James Franco until he was worn down into a smooth polished nub about the size of a key lime or roma tomato.
Uh, what’s in it for him?
Fuck he’s hot!
You could not have chosen a more perfect photo. Thanks Paul.
I know the type – you think he is a bottom, but after a couple of hours of making out, he slaps you around a bit, good stuff, and voila, you are on the bottom and enjoying it all … all … all
Yes, I know the the type, I married him.
I think he mentioned he was in Columbia’s creative writing program during his funny and charming Fresh Air interview with Terri Gross. The guy can definitely tell a good story.
