My Big Fat Summer Reading List

[John Bailey]

I just finished writing a novel, if anyone wants a look. It's about
Okinawa after WWII and the animal space program and the Green Children
of Woolpit and the history of elevator maintenance and mortuary
neglect which is a terrible thing but I doubt any publishers will pick
it up because I live in a land that frowns on those who took too much
Pynchon in their youth, and for whom mortuary neglect is a kind of
insurance plan.
