AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS KNOWS HIS FURNITURE

I'm a fan. I wish he would go deeper sometimes, but he goes deep enough. Like here:


Powell's Books - Ink Q & A: Augusten Burroughs: "What fictional character would you like to date, and why?
Well, I chose a dead author instead of a fictional character because dead authors become fictional characters after a while. So, Ernest Hemingway. And I would tell him, 'Ernie, you've got to listen to me. I'm from the future and I know things. After you're dead, Thomasville is going to create an entire line of home furniture based on your name. You need to stop this from happening, now. Someday, you'll be known only for your coffee tables and credenzas.' "
