Like, for instance, Matthue references humility in question seven, which in his answer to question five he explained was, for him, at the root of religion. In question seventeen, Matthue mentions that he can’t get the characters from Losers out of his head. What’s left out is that he has been writing some about a particular character but isn’t sure what, if anything, will come of it.

There’s so much more, so if you’re confused by any of the questions or answers, do ask for more info. I’ll provide it if I can, and if we’re lucky Matthue may stop by and answer a few questions himself.

Even my boyfriend read Fly on the Wall — without telling me! I woke up one morning and found the book oddly sitting on the dining room table, when I knew it had been on my bookshelf the day before. It turned out he was reading it for twenty minutes at a time when he got home at night (this was when he was finishing grad school, and generally getting home long after I’d gone to sleep myself). I seem to recall him saying he enjoyed it.

But really, what I’m saying here is that perhaps my prejudice is not quite fair. Because obviously these novels can be and often are very good.

Also, do they have to be old, white men? Why can’t there be women involved too? Or even young white men? lol
