These Interstitial Spaces
“Later it occurred to me that I’m only really happy when I’m in these interstitial spaces, where I’ve kind of slipped behind the curtain to see what people are really about, and it’s like living in the place that everyone wants to visit but is too afraid to talk about.” — from my newsletter, “I’m Only Happy When It Rains”

Operation Me
“Because the narrative is filtered through me, covers a vast expanse of time, and includes not only what I witnessed but how what I witnessed shaped the person I became, the essay had to feature me as a central character. In the past, I’ve avoided this angle; on the set of an adult movie, I am the least interesting thing in the room.” Read my latest newsletter, “How to Perform a Literary Auto-vivisection,” and subscribe.

Books I Read: Roadside Picnic
Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky is a curious book. There is a monkey child, a zone where terrible things happen, a “stalker” who is hunting for … what? Money? Hope? Dreams? This book was the inspiration for Stalker, which you should watch if you haven’t. But truth be told: The book is better.

Today I’m working on a 10,000-word personal essay about how the adult movie industry has changed since I first found myself on the set of an adult movie over 25 years ago and how what I saw there changed me.
