extreme makeover, last five chapters of unpublished novel edition

for anyone who is interested: i just finished the third rewrite of my second manuscript, entitled godspeed, and if you want to read it, regardless of whether you’ve read previous drafts, i will send it to you with what giambattista vigo once termed “the quickness.”

blurb: godspeed is an alternately disturbing and hilarious romp through the past of a hyper-educated narrator with memory problems. it martials incest, drug addiction, tourism, and a manhattan apartment filled with human waste as stand-ins for self-love and -loathing. many readers have found it excellent. it is about 65,000 words, and three of them are “shrieking.”

that is all.
