Codex Quick Questions Kazam Kismet Absurdity Beards and Bosworth.


Codex and Boworth unite. Feel the love.

After The Cats Razzed The Chickens I expected more absurd. Or was that notion absurd? I like the part where David pops his eye out.--Or did you purposefully play down the absurd?

Absurd comes and goes. It has a mind of it's own, at least in my mind. And your notion isn't absurd. But there's a good amount of absurd in Grease Stains, no? Did I play down the absurdity? Was Razzed really more absurd than Grease? Hm. To be totally honest, Josh, and I hope I don't sound like a turd saying this, Grease Stains pretty much wrote itself. I was just the tool. I am a ginormous tool. I really got out of my own way on this one. Words flew out of my hands and they stayed where they landed. Is there absurdness? Absurdity? Is it played down? It's there, doing its thing in its own way. In the end, I suppose the words and the absurdness, played down or otherwise, were simply trying to get as close to the characters as they could. Because it's all about them. And their sometimes absurdness and the absurdity around them. Absurd.

This Book Will Change Your Life - Grease Stains, Kismet and Maternal Wisdom by Mel Bosworth.

Mel Bosworth is love. Or more accurately maybe, the Bosworth's new book Grease Stains, Kismet and Maternal Wisdom is love, getting it, longing for it, searching for it, recognizing what a fluke it is, but wanting it anyway, even as you know you could lose it any time, because nothing is better, happier, yet still filled with dread, hate and fear, though even then there is magic, and sex, lots of sweaty awesome sex, that you're not even sure when or how it will come, but that's okay, because there is magic, and magic realism, and is there any better reason for magic realism to even exist then to try and describe love, something you're writing even as your experiencing it, something Mel does here so wonderfully, the awe and passion and wonder, always wonder, because love is ultimately about wonder, well that and hope, and okay, celebration, its everything maybe, love is everything. And Mel Bosworth is love. For real.
