8220;Billy Ben” →. March 15, 2013 · 2:08 pm. 8220;Fungus Isle” by Phillip Fisher. Unlike Lovecraft, there haven’t been a lot of writers following in Hodgson’s footsteps. Outside of Carnacki stories, few authors (other than John M. Ford) produce Hodgsonian fiction. One of the most significant deviations from this was “Fungus Isle” by Phillip Fisher. Appeared his story, “Fungus Isle”, which clearly owes so much to Hodgson as to come close to intellectual property theft. However, consider this, were someone...

Conversable | The Life of Johnston
https://thelifeofjohnston.wordpress.com/2016/11/21/conversable
The Life of Johnston. My Books on Amazon. Enzo and I went on an overnight school field trip. It wasn’t that bad this time hardly hellish at all and often fun. On the second day, the class went on a long walk and eventually got strung out over some distance, so the feeling of being in a big group went away, and I ended up walking mostly with Dahlia and Amelia. I didn’t have any means of taking notes, and, as usual, I remember a lot of what I said and very little of what anybody else said. For those lucky ...

Suicide and Salami | The Life of Johnston
https://thelifeofjohnston.wordpress.com/2016/06/25/suicide-and-salami
The Life of Johnston. My Books on Amazon. I’ve stopped writing because I’m on a Russian/Soviet reading kick:. By Svetlana Alexievich. And now. By Anne Applebaum. It’s terrific fun. I’ve never been able to understand why people get depressed by books about terrible things. I get depressed by upbeat blogs about animals, gardens and children. Fuck the children. Give me the Gulag. The Alexievich books are long interviews edited into narrative. And they’re great, astounding, how did she do it? And the wars...

The Life of Johnston. My Books on Amazon. Julian: An Interview by Melissa Ureña. This is the last piece in my mini-series of other people’s writing about immigration. It’s by Melissa Ureña, a student of mine at UCSB sixteen years ago. The assignment was: interview someone and edit the interview into a narrative. She interviewed her father. I guess I should add that this piece was published in. Why did I come here? 8221; was one of them. I said there were no others. “ Dos Mas! Through obnoxious laughter&#...

How do we explain this to the children? Fuck the children. They’re fine. How do we explain this to ourselves? It’s easy to get sanctimonious about kids. But they’re just people, only worse.).

Lordshazam's Bloggedy Blog Blog. Sam Gafford’s Bio. What a drag…. February 17, 2015. I wonder if they actually play this song at their concerts now? It could have a different meaning than when it was written. Because of their work. I am reminded more and more of Steve Martin and Charles Grodin in the classic film,. The Lonely Guy,. Where they read the obituaries of people they don’t know to each other and sigh sadly, “Oh, so young.”. Why doesn’t Neil Gaiman like me? What I miss about the 80s… →. What a d...

Original Sin | The Life of Johnston
https://thelifeofjohnston.wordpress.com/2016/07/20/original-sin
The Life of Johnston. My Books on Amazon. I have a soft spot for plagiarists. I’m not talking about frat boys getting term papers off the internet. That’s cheating and knowing that you’re cheating. But there’s something strange and touching about plagiarism like Melania Trump’s or Joe Biden’s so many years ago. How could they have thought they’d get away with it? They must have been convinced by some temporary trick of the brain that they were speaking their own words. Your word is your bond. The differe...

The Life of Johnston. My Books on Amazon. June 6, 2016. Guest Post: Why I Do Not Dismiss Trump. A few posts ago I outed my dad as a possible Trump voter. Here is his reply. It’s too long for the comments. My daughter Kate posted the following in her blog. “My dad’s argument for Trump goes something like this: he’s winning. The anti-immigrant racism, the woman-hating, the freakish self-regard it’s all strategy. It’s a pose for getting votes, and it’s working. Trump wouldn’t. In our political system, folks...
