A Walk Before Dinner

granny7

By David L. Ulin

It was a Tuesday night in early April, the second night of Passover, and the city was wavering beneath an uncertain twilight, the sky high but closed, clouds fading from a purple-shot blue to silver, the silver of sudden rain. Stepping outside, Peter was struck by a wave of bad feeling. → Read more

Edmund read the will, walked out of his apartment in a trance, leaving the door open for Helga's easy re-entry so she can steal it back and burn it.

An Interview with 'Accursed Publisher' Maurice Girodias
by Mike Golden

If Maurice Girodias' timing was not always perfect, it never lacked flair, as the rogue genius and so-called "accursed publisher" proved one last time on July 3, 1991, when he managed to pass away live on the radio in his beloved Paris, at the age of seventy-one, while plugging the recently published second installment of his memoirs, and talking about the battles he fought against censorship.

Born April 12, 1919, Girodias was brought up in a privileged artistic and intellectual atmosphere. By the time he was fourteen, he had not only read Tropic of Cancer in manuscript, he had been commissioned by his father, publisher Jack Kahane, to draw the cover for the groundbreaking publication. Before Miller, Kahane had published Haveth Childers Everywhere-the first printed portion of Finnegans Wake-and The Life and Loves of Frank Harris, so the tradition Girodias would follow in was firmly established. → Read more

With a connoisseur's concentration, Mingus was preparing to smoke a Havana cigar.

Do you ever talk to Monk?

I saw him at a concert in Boston. I said about four words.

Breakfast At McDonald's

mm14_chicken

When the girl behind the counter
says, "May I take your order?"
I look at her sweet smile
and think, "Coffee and a blow job."
I glance up at the menu quickly
and say, "A sausage and egg biscuit."
Sometimes the words that come
out of my mouth amaze me.
