I usually listen to one in the car (always unabridged; I think abridged audio- books are the pits), and carry another wherever I go. You just never know when you’ll want an escape hatch: mile-long lines at tollbooth plazas, the fifteen minutes you have to spend in the hall of some boring college building waiting for your advisor (who’s got some yank-off in there threatening to commit suicide because ...

I had the occasion to meet him at a writers conference last year. He is boisterous, eccentric, opinionated, disagreeable... all the things you'd expect of an author. His methods of writing fiction have actually influenced me as a writer in various respects. He feels art is something that is subconsciously drawn, without a conscious stream of thought leading the path (in other words, "thinking" is out when writing fiction). He says once you get ...

You really can't do much but feeling curious about it, heh Here's some more on this lad: CARLTON MELLICK III writes trashy squishy child-like novels set in surreal fantasy versions of consumer America, with an emphasis on nightmarish absurdities, punk perversions, and social satire. In only a few short years, his surreal counterculture ...

Also, I heard somewhere that a character in one of his books (a black Amazon queen) is where the name "California" came from. This might be a long shot, but has anyone heard of this bloke?

His work is filled with irony and humor, and most of his books have been drawn and handwritten. Here's an example of it, a page from "Los Supermachos": I've never seen a non spanish edition of his books, but it'd be pretty interesting. Here's a list of his books taken from Wikipedia (it's fun to read the english translation): Filosofía para principiantes (Desde Platón ...
