Jonathan Ames’ New Stuff
A TV show, HBO’s Bored to Death:
It stars Jason Schwarzman as a struggling Brooklyn writer—named Jonathan Ames—with a drinking problem who pretends to be a private detective in the vein of his heroes from Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett novels.
A new book, The Double Life is Twice as Good:
She was far from a virgin but it was a soothing experience. She stroked my hair and cooed to me. Later, outside the brothel, I thanked the merchant marine for treating me. From Barcelona, we went to Morrocco, where I got dysentery and other strange things happened.
And he had knives thrown at him at a reading last night.
Ames wrote one of my favorite funny novels—which you will certainly enjoy if you’re a Wodehouse fan—Wake Up, Sir!
