Like a spunky newsboy from the twenties.



I am reading Philip Roth's The Breast right now because I am thinking about writing a novella called The Prick, which so far is about a short man with a small penis who wished he was taller and had a larger penis, and the lengths (no pun intended) he would go in order to achieve that dream.
No, I am not thinking about anyone in particular. I don't know anyone like that. Do you?
Of course the connection between what Roth wrote and what I plan to write lies only in the title. No way in hell am I going to write about a loosely veiled version of myself turning into a gigantic prick. Yuck. Everyone knows tits are both pretty and interesting and penises are only interesting.
Anyway, that Roth. He really doesn't like women, does he?
