Kissssss: a miscellany

O'GRADY'S NOTE: Steve Katz forwarded the following message to friends. I'm reprinting it here because when I get into a guy I have to get all the guy's stuff and I've got all of Steve Katz's stuff. I've got several Steve Katz books (signed/inscribed when we did a show together in 2005) that I haven't read yet until recently when I undertook to read The Exagggerations of Peter Prince and Swanny's Ways simultaneously (an action that prompted the author to say O'Grady is destroying his [O'Grady's] mind and that he [Steve Katz] will not be held responsible). I finished the former [The Exagggerations of Peter Prince] a few weeks ago [WOW] and am continuing to read the latter [Swanny's Ways]. The Exagggerations of Peter Prince came out in 1968. I have added his classic short story collection Creamy and Delicious to my book bag but what I really want to get is his brand-new collection out now on FC2:

Steve,

I wrote a review of your book on my blog. If you want to let anyone know it is there, it's at barbarahenning.blogspot.com.

I enjoyed the book. I'm in NYC right now, preparing to go to India in a week or so.

best

Update: I got his new book at Smallpressapalooza at Powell's Books where Steve read at 8:30pm on March 20, 2008. He was awesome. Totally awesome. Hilarious. A few days later, we ate at India Grill on E. Burnside.
