Should it sadden me that I am so eager to comment?
Jhumpa Lahiri, Nicole Krauss, Simon Van Booy, Miguel Syjuco. Siri Hustvedt.
Of course, this list applies, too, when you speak ~*~metaphorically~*~
catherine lacey
Salinger, obviously.
Alexander Chee
-Romeo Castellucci (he writes theater, does that count?)
uh
-Tony Duvert & Renaud Camus when they were at their peak (not so much now [ i mean one is dead but yeah ] ) (these are grouped together because GAY, FRENCH)
-Jeff Long (author of pop-horror) in the 90s (though he pretty much already looks exactly like a popular gay pornstar from the 80s)
Miranda July.
inb4: ‘haters gonna hate’
sam lipsyte
Emily Dickinson. In her current condition.
yeah
as long as we’re tomb raiding, walt whitman and william wordsworth. i feel like this would answer a lot of questions for me.
Feel like Keats should be in this group, too.
Oh yes, I second this.
Clarice Lispector, back then.
Julie Orringer.
Thirded.
Also Molly Young.
Oh, and Byron. A now-rare glimpse of what was once, reportedly, so difficult to avoid witnessing in some stage of brandishment.
How fast does penis matter decompose?
First one to go.
Mary Gaitskill
William Gass.
billy collins
http://phillysound.blogspot.com/2010/07/lesbians-dont-want.html
Young Patricia Highsmith. Oh wait, here she is: http://www.cinestatic.com/infinitethought/uploaded_images/highsmiththree-721597.jpg
Christopher Hitchens.
RON CURRIE, JR.!!
Unexpected!
“Billy Collins (the Phil Collins of poetry!)”
I no longer feel odd and alone (weeps)
-Making Off With Emily Dickinson’s Soul-
First, her tippet made of tulle,
easily ripped off her shoulders and tossed
across the legs of an overturned chair…
-Billy Collins
Ah. It was never meant to be.
Time to chase a new dream.
I don’t know if that’s her or not, but she will be, forever, saved to my hard drive. Thanks. I’m off to reread Ripley’s Game.
Jim Harrison
That’s her.
Pynchon!
Nell Freudenberger.
I think I would like to see Blake Butler naked.

sam lipsyte
Emily Dickinson. In her current condition.

Anne Sexton. On a porch in the afternoon. Drinks.

And you, Mr Butler, what writer would you want to see all nakeds?
Please.
Clarice Lispector, back then.
Julie Orringer.
Thirded.
Also Molly Young.

Molly Gaudry.
Nicole Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Ellen.
That click was well worth it.
The interest this generates is disappointing considering the lack of volunteers I had to participate in my non-existent video magazine of people reading nude. If anyone here is in fact willing to submit, I will get shit rolling again.
I’d like to see Samuel R. Delany’s cock, but he isn’t hot. Santa Claus isn’t hot.
Danielewski is sexy, I think I’d like to see him naked.
Lasky is hot too, her too.
I was just gonna say D. but agree as not hot. It’s more on principle.

Lasky is hot too, her too.
John Updike was the absolute first name that popped into my head. I think John Updike circa “Rabbit, Run”. Or Raymond Carver circa “Cathedral”. Or Cormac McCarthy.

My dog sez Joyce Carol Oates. He wants to chew on her a while, then bury her.
