His child hood sounded like a Hitchcock movie.

2025-04-10 08:04:34 +0000 UTCI thought you said Rick Moranis at first…. I was like, the guy from Ghostbusters and Honey I Shrunk The Kids wrote a book called The Art & Craft of the Short Story!? Edit: Come to think of it, Rick Moranis might make a great guest!

That lead me to Eleven Kinds of Loneliness and Liars in Love, and so on. But "No Pain Whatsoever" is no meat on the bone prose, a different kind of depressing story.
