Paragraphs I Would Probably Stab My Dick To Have Written (1): Barry Hannah
Geronimo Rex, pg. 142, first full graph:
Other nights Fleece explained to me how he had declared himself–he was going to be a doctor and study how “one suffers in the meat.” “I was always a meatball,” he said. “I’m going to be the best doctor Mississippi ever produced. They’ll bring in some whore whose boyfriend has shot her in the cunt pointblank with a shotgun and alongside her her boyfriend also, who thought he commited suicide putting the last shot into his navel, and I’ll put on my mask, wave my hands with some instruments, and bring them back Romeo and Juliet.”

Re-reading G-Rex right now in fact. Likely consume me for the next few years considering the sentences that demand that you read them more than once just for the sheer pleasure of their music.

In honor of my fellow Mississippian I decided to read the paragraph from the published text. I pulled the book down from the shelf above my computer and opened, in one turn, to the exact page. I think it may be time to re-read Hannah’s masterpiece.

Barry Hannah gave a reading here at Alabama in the fall; his first time back into town since he got kicked out of here many years ago. The first thing the man said after the introduction was ‘The lights up here are really bright. Are there any black people in the audience?’ and then proceeded to read ‘Constant Pain In Tuscaloosa’ from Airships.
