Is harmless, at first, and so very entertaining. It charms you with sweet-talk, and says it's going out for a latté. Then television comes home at three in the morning with distilled breath, the nice dinner you cooked gone cold and glutinous, candles burned to stumps, champagne flat in the bottle, promises you it will never happen again, tells you you're pretty and drunkenly tries to initiate anal sex.You deserve so much better than television.
Cormac McCarthy, Nabakov, Hanif Kureishi, Pablo Neruda, Jim Harrison, Martin Amis, Jonathan Lethem, Jane Austen, Lester Bangs, Haruki Murakami, Rilke and Camille Paglia are in heavy rotation right now.
