    His stories are, as the title suggests, inappropriate, and they often engender squeamishness, discomfort, and laughter. But they are fresh and, at times, touching, qualities that make this an enjoyable read.--Library Journal

    How to Be Inappropriate round-up: Urban Outfitters, Writer's Rainbow, Chronicle, TU, HTMLG.


    If you walk into an Urban Outfitters store, chances are you will see a copy of How to Be Inappropriate.  You can even buy it on their site. Either way, expect an attractive hipster staff person to walk up to you and say you look good with it on your body.

    Tamara at The Writer's Rainbow sent some questions to me, and those questions, along with my so-intelligent-they-will-bite-your-face-off answers are up on the site now.

    At HTMLGIANT, I took a stand against fucking gerunds.

    Teresa Farrell reviews the book for the Saint Rose Chronicle.  She gives it 4.5 stars--not too shabby for a youth-oriented publication.

    They updated the cover art at Soft Skull's site. Still waiting on Powell's and Barnes & Noble. Oh, and my own website's header.

    On goodreads, people I do not know have put the book on their lists "to be read." One user, "Michael Minneapolis," who seems like a discerning reader, writes that he was "was surprised and delighted by the intellect and emotion in these brief essays. A great read." Michael, wherever you are, I appreciate your kind words.

    I am not sure if I linked to my shout-out in the Times-Union's Campus Notes column.  But I will here


    Also from the Times-Union: Steve Barnes' Table Hopping blog shouts-out my McSweeney's sentence-combining "fictionalized fish fry" essay-thing.

    I might be Tucker Max. Wouldn't mind some of the sales, however.
     

    Roxanne, Roxanne gives me a shout-out at The Collagist.

    I should give this guy a book

    Also not sure if I linked to a photo of me at the Brooklyn Book Festival by my old neighbor, Denton Taylor. But here it is.
