I read and enjoyed Towing Jehovah and its sequel, on the recommendation of a friend who loved them. I've seen several posts about Shambling Towards Hiroshima, and I had an interest based on the descriptions, but hadn't realized that it was the same author. Now that you've made that connection for me, I'll definitely pick up a copy.

The most neccessary of evils is the destruction of unauthorized biographies...

Of course... I do not advocate the banning and burning of books just for the sake of a passive aggressive pissing contest.

It is just plain courteous to support writers and story tellers the world over... in big book stores or little personal shops.... past and future... in celebration of authors everywhere.

Perhaps, that is why there are revisionists.

Bah. I did NOT like Towing Jehovah... I wanted it to have a point, or a soul, but it failed me. If you're saying it's his lightweight, maybe I'd be tempted to try something deeper: I did like the writing, just felt he failed to take it anywhere.

Then again, that's kind of my problem with a lot of modern comedy and commentary -- funny, dark, angry, and... completely useless. Use your brain and give me an alternative!
