August Kleinzahler


August explained, "Some of my best ideas come from the loo." which includes a " tasteless collection of tabloid clippings from the world wide. They tickle my imagination." August Kleinzahler is a great, great writer -- as yet undiscovered -- who lives in the Haight district and recently came out with a book that's getting rave reviews. "Cutty, One Rock" is a collection of humorous essays about growing up in New Jersey, about living next door to "Sopranos"-like mobsters, about his mother who didn't like children, about his thug brother and about the life he encountered when he came to another planet -- San Francisco.Event on 12/3/04 in San Francisco.

Team Building Excercises

Uh, pardon me, Miss Carnoutsie
Is that your panty line
Or a sillken esker of longing
Have an hallucination, have a bagel
We had an issue under discussion here
Regarding the lighting, I believe

I see a hand up
Mr Gomez, are we still on the same page?
