interview: The Big Idea | Whatever
What happens in this novel bears little resemblance to what happened in my own. This is not a memoir.

Cereal Killer
You know the kind of funny where someone’s pissed off about something and it makes you laugh, and then the more that person goes on ranting the funnier it gets and by the end you’re like, holding your breath so you can hear what she’s saying instead of just laughing? It can happen when you’re…
