My four year old gosh daughter called me last night because she opened up the 2012 issue of Cornerstone, the alumni magazine for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at George Mason University, and found my picture on the back page, along with an excerpt from Death Wishing. I didn’t understand all of what the GD was telling me, but she did ask me if I wrote this story in a day. She also said that story writing was “like art, but with paper.”
I was pleased to be asked to contribute, but I admit to doing a bit of clean-up on the excerpt, removing the fucks and some xenophobic flourishes that aren’t in keeping with the spirit of the mag.
