There was a moment during your first Joe Rogan interview when Joe talked about the feeling of accomplishment of seeing your book in print and holding a physical copy for the first time. And I think you went beyond that and mentioned an even greater glory of having something you've written be echoed in the culture. Like the line "The first rule of fight club is..."

That moment deflated me. There's no hope for me to ever create a line that will be echoed like that. The best I have to hope for is the physical book haha

Hey Chuck, if you were stuck on a deserted island and had to choose between the works of Ira Levin or Amy Hempel, who would you go with? (No pressure)

P.S. is the writing workshop/submission still going ahead on LitReactor at some point in the future?

Hey another impromptu "Praise Chuck": I love how, in Damned, Maddy says "I can recognize an erection" when she sees Archer's erection (because he sucked the giant clitoris of Psezpolnica) and in Doomed (the next book, but which takes place before Damned) Maddy tells she mistook her grandfather's erect penis for poop in the toilet's glory hole.
