my butt is actually slightly bigger than most peoples’. in grade school i was called “bubble butt.” now, women and gay men comment favorably all the time. it’s not big in the “camera shot from waist down on a news segment about obesity” type of big, more like, “black man” type of big, a nice curvature if you will. why, i remember feeling ashamed of myself often. now, i have come to love it, and even feel pride, such that i have been on the tyra banks show and have overcome my sensitivity. rest assured gentle htmlgiant readers, it was not an easy transformation, and many times at night alone, i still doubt myself, but it is this doubt that keeps me in love with my bubble butt. a career in gay porn is not out of the question if my current career of looking for a job fails. i encourage you all to look at my ass if you see me at a reading, or perhaps out late at night jogging, carrying behind me a pair of umbros filled to the brim with ass.
If you packed one copy of every book that Joyce Carol Oates has ever published into a pair of sweatpants, she’d win. Big Booty Judy. Otherwise I have no clue, though I am a butt man.
Jeff— that was amazing. thanks for sharing. finally getting to see trash humpers next week and this has me that much more jacked for it.
Joseph Young— i quite felt the suffereing of thaddeus, and others, and felt empathy toward him. was what made the book best for me. but some of yours are good points to make, though might, maybe, could use some fleshing out.
Joseph Riippi— Re: Daniel Quinn, I have to admit that the first time I read ‘Ishmael’ it blew my mind. Granted, I was 13. But it remains on the shelf of “those books” with Knowles’ *A Separate Peace* and Gary Paulson’s *Hatchet* and every Calvin and Hobbes...
d— I guess “but it’s funny!” stops working for me at some point. Of course, the patronizing “critiques” of hip hop are the other side of the same coin, especially all the family values/role of the father conservative shit.
David Backer— The one premise I can offer to justify my “whining” is this: In Jones’s book, and a lot of writing I’ve been reading online, there is a lack of engagement with extant-real systems of human organization: economies, households, cultures, societies,...
Richard - Zine-Scene— I thought Shelley was really nice when I saw here. She stayed around after the reading and talked with a bunch of people and seemed really laid back… It might have been because she was hosted by the University of Alabama faculty, who are really laid back too.
mimi— Or maybe someone slipped some MSG into my dipping sauce.

Mary Butts. British modernist. 1890-1937. Or whatever. Because basically she had two of them.
And if not Butts.
Then me. Mine is gigantic.

Yeah, should have been “Who of all the authors you’ve ever seen had the biggest butt?”
Or “Of all the authors’ butts you’ve ever seen, which was the biggest?”
the author’s butt is dead.

I think an “actress” from the critically acclaimed “booty talk” has a novel out. Surely she wins this.
