Oh, check this out. Great part where they try to pin me on McSweeney's in
NY Observer piece:

http://www.observer.com/pages/transom.asp

”At the reading's intermission, fans stood in the lobby of the Public,
talking breathlessly about Mr. LeRoy's rare appearance onstage, with Ms.
Argento by his side. Raccoon-penis bones signed by Mr. LeRoy were going for
15 bucks a pop. There was the sensation that someone might soon pass out
Kool-Aid and distribute identical muu-muus. Or that the whole thing was a
hoax-the kind of thing cooked up by the kids at McSweeney's, with whom Mr.
LeRoy just published an individually bound story, "Harold's End."”

kids at McSweeney's... I love it. Cooked up - like we're running a literary kitchen?
