October Seventeenth
Strange how someone you think you know slowly reveals himself to being a slut. Everywhere we went, he’d stop and say hello to this woman, and that. In the coffee shop in Los Feliz, at the Metro station in Long Beach, at the Casbah in San Diego: always a woman, always a hug and a smile, always a few minutes of conversation, and not once an introduction.

This is a very short book being written in several times at once. I’m writing it in May of 2011, but I’m also writing it in January 2011. In January 2011, it is taking the form of a talk. I’m rewriting it in February 2011, just before giving the talk, in Berlin. Bits of it are being written in 2010, and at those points I have no idea that they’re part of any kind of book.

visionaria:
Thank you to all the wonderful bloggers who took up the challenge and wrote stories beginning with the line “I’ve never been in that bathroom alone.” I owe a debt of gratitude to the lovely Ms Dorothy Darker, who suggested the line. I’m just thrilled at the way this all turned out.
I considered writing lead-ins to each story, like the ones you find in erotica anthologies, but I’ll...

Named Names
“I’ve never been in that bathroom alone,” he says and my first instinct is to call him a fucking slut. I don’t, but it stays with me for the rest of the evening. It’s kind of hard to shake something like that when it’s said to you with a smile, a wistful tone, and possibly an air of pride. We keep making our way through the porn shop. Whatever it is...

It will be the biggest thing I have done in my entire life (except for the time I saved that baby’s life from its crackhead dad).
I’m very nervous. It’s going to be...
