Fiction's PoMo Characters

[Jamie McKittrick]

Wild at Heart is a hard watch, a real patience-tester, but there are some
really funny lines in there. Paraphrasing but the one that sticks with me
is when Nic Cage says "I started smoking when I was four. Right after my
mom died of lung cancer."

Lynch was laughing/coughing when he wrote that one.
