A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
"Gus writes with a spare elegance that illuminates a topic that, all too often, is treated with heavy-handed jocularity at best or insensitivity at worst."
(what IS the book about, by the way? Besides men/women?)
And if a blurb from a non scifi writer would help, no problem. Tell them to send me a galley.

Now I kinda want to get blurbs from all the writers I know.
Not for a book or anything. Just for, you know, my cover letters. Or a tee-shirt.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

This would sell retail out.
Border's employees would be like ...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

"Erin's ass is a rich and heady experience: taut and supple throughout, with a subtle, haunting whiteness. She buffs it with a sure and steady hand in a breathtaking balancing act of deeply focused craft and natural artistry. A stunning debut."

"Erin brings a spice that has been sorely lacking in the sauces out there. Long may she vamp!"

We always suspected this, or even ... knew this. What was the point of this post?

She wanted a blurb, she got a blurb. Not blurby enough? Here's yours:
"The Buffista body of literature is an absurdly varied one, but until now there has been no one to tell the untold stories of the Wisconsinite, the weremonkey, the remarkably tall. Gus is all three, and we are all the richer for it. His book is a quiet miracle. A benediction. A remarkably tall, faintly cheese-scented benediction."

Just giving Erin her due. And tee-shirt fodder.
Can I post the short-form synopsis for London Calling? My wonderful new agents have approved of it and I want to share.
