Feminism ruins everything, but not in the way you might think.

November 15, 2014 by Robyn Robotron 1 Comment

You know how when you’re young and you don’t realize how problematic some things are, but then you learn better and cringe when you reread a comic you once thought was super awesome?  It’s like that.

SD Noir as a Quick, Easy Read

November 11, 2014 by genericwhitegirl Leave a Comment

I had the opportunity to meet with Corey Fayman one afternoon. We sat at a small cafe in Little Italy and talked about books (duh) and writing. I was interested in knowing how someone just *decides* to self-publish a book…or two. I was also curious about what, if anything, lay on the horizon for Rolly Waters. Waters is a private investigator living in San Diego. When he’s not searching down runaway teenagers or spying on cheating spouses, he’s playing gigs at local events with his […]

Portrait of an Art Monster Marriage

November 10, 2014 by Fiat.Luxury Leave a Comment

Dept. Of Speculation is 46 pithy chapters that take up only 180 pages, composed entirely of short, aphoristic paragraphs and quotes that vaguely tell the story of a woman’s journey through adulthood.  The characters are nameless: the wife, the husband, the daughter.  The narrator, the Wife, starts as an aspiring Art Monster, and changes as she falls in love, gets married, has a daughter.  The wife waxes poetic (or, aphoristic) about life’s catastrophes, from having a colicky baby, to a cheating husband, to a battle with bedbugs, […]
