Umm. I can’t believe my favorite and the most honest story I’ve ever written gets to be on this podcast. And I maybe started to tear up listening to the introduction. 🥹
Well, here we are in Spain. I feel like I am just getting started, and I wish I had more new episodes yet to come, but we have come to the final episode of what's turning out to be one of the most wonderful things I've ever done.

Rare photo of me without a jean jacket but also still like vaguely suggesting a jean jacket. I was going to add a song to this photo but got overwhelmed at the sheer amount of songs named “Jean Jacket.” If anyone has favorites let me know. K. Bye.

I spent a lot of time today talking with folks or answering questions about my novella that’s coming out in February with @splitlippress.com and it’s really cool to see there might be readers out there who respond to this weird little creature. On presale now! www.splitlippress.com/krackles-las...

I’m not in the desert anymore, so that’s a lie, but the rest of the video is totally true.

I have a novella coming out in February called Krackle’s Last Movie, which is being published by Split/Lip Press! @splitlippress.com

Missed this. There is only one compliment left to give her work - she’s 87. She has maybe the greatest formal mastery in modern theatre, but she retains the playful daring of an 18 year old. It’s what every single one of us wants. And Christ what a lovely person.
happy birthday to Caryl Churchill. thanks for changing theatre. we are still trying to catch up.

Not a novel but long short story in which I ripped off The X Files, Sphere AND Event Horizon all in one swoop because I was obsessed with them at the time. It won me my first writing award in middle school 😂
so, to the writers... what was the terrible novel you wrote at 14? Mine was about a redhaired freedom fighter called Eleanor Sunstripe
