Blake Butler—
An excerpt of Eugene Marten’s next novel, Firework, forthcoming 2010 from Tyrant Books, is up now at the Brooklyn Rail.
Dear Blake,
I love you so much sometimes that I have to stop and close my eyes and hold my breath until I faint and fall out of my chair just to quell the rush of it all. I’ll admit it: It’s bigger than me.
Love, Gian
Oh yeh, I saw Justin this weekend and we’re going to start apartment hunting for you here in New York. The only obstacle we can think of is whether you’d be happier in Manhattan or Brooklyn. But we’ll sort that all out, so don’t you worry. Just tie up whatever loose ends you got down there and start filling a box. Atlanta really appreciates how long you stuck with her, but, like a good mother, she understands when it’s time to move on.
