I met Dennis McMillan at Miami Book Fair.
Bought a xeroxed copy of A Guide for the Un-
dehemorrhoided. He said he and Willeford had
discussed my work, and decided I was a good writer,
but I'd never be published by New York, because I was too
off the wall. Willeford later used that as the title of his book
about Son of Sam. Off the Wall. Maybe he said Out There.
Too Out There. Hunter S. Thompson said it never got weird enough
for him. And he was pretty weird. He was a state agent at it.
The Curse of Lono, for example. "A Dog Took My Place."
I don't think I was out there enough.
