Titles may be misleading

The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, for instance, is not an autobiography, nor was it written by Ms. Toklas. According to the copyright page, it's a biography, but the more salient point is that Gertrude Stein penned it.

Nothing happens in Joseph Heller's Something Happened. Through 550 pages of nihilistic voyeurism, mesmerizing and gruesome though they maybe be, nothing ever happens.

It is my supreme hope that Clinical Microbiology made Ridiculously Simple, unlike these other titles, proves worthy of its name.

Otherwise, I'm kinda fucked.



I'm listening to:
Olivia Tremor Control: Black Foliage: Animation Music Vol. 1
