I own his floppy yellow telephone book of essays, and I must say- only two or three essays are worth reading from it. I had a similar problem with Vidal’s ‘92-2000 essays.

Anyways, the search is short. For books about pseuds or charlatans, seek books written by pseuds and charlatans.

Ugly buildings are the hallmark of how utterly demolished you have become as a group and a human.
"You've entered the domain of an ugly god." Reads on all grey cubes.
