I'm updating my class site for contemporary writers in the coming semester. I haven't run it since Franco came out with the Child of God film, so I'm thinking I'll go with that one and freak everybody the fuck out, what the hell? So I'm looking around for interviews or something in which McCarthy doesn't come off like a total lunatic (he's brilliant, in my opinion, but ummm not a people person is putting it lightly), and I find this, which I wouldn't repeat except that Scocca parody did crack me up.  I know I know, I'm an asshole :/

The boys are on their way back from a long weekend in the midwest to see their grandmother with their father. TJ has been texting me cultural laments punctuated by raving food reviews (the way to a kid's heart is giant portions of waffles, but TJ's heart is a hard one, so before the syrup has dried on his shirt he will be back to 'is there anything here besides gas stations??).  Best text: We walk in and dad says to grandma "you've lost weight!" and she shoots back "you've lost hair!"  Wisconsin: Where passive aggressive ninjas come from.
