"Bored with being British.
Worn out with cynical, subtle and sparse." says Martin Amis
Author blogs now have their very own Weird Al, in the form of Lying Motherfcuker, a blog in which your favorite authors, many of them dead, blog about what they're really thinking.
Consider this from Martin Amis:
"Don't need a Booker. Am successful, well-adjusted, straight-toothed Writer of Renown with valuable contracts and great hair.
Shit. Shit. Shit."
Or Edward Gorey: "Crows and stray cats following me everywhere. Someone has been sneaking offal into my coat pockets. Again."
The most recent entries spoof Neil Gaiman's Sandman characters: "Beset by clouds of amorous pigeons, Dream and Death begin to regret their decision to shill for AquaNet hairspray." (see visual aid)
Much of the humor is of the low variety, but it's an enjoyable guilty pleasure for booklovers all the same.
