It's been an exciting week for my pal Kevin Sessums, whose blurb was one of the highlights of my getting published. The former Vanity Fair writer had a stellar profile in Sunday Style section of The New York Times -- complete with correction and a clarification -- and now his upcoming memoir has become available for pre-order on Amazon.
The chapter titles from "I Left It on the Mountain" -- which I can only assume is a reference to his meth needle -- sound like another page-turner from the skilled and sweet scribe:
ONE ..................... The StarfuckerIf you're as intrigued as I am, pre-order your copy now HERE!

Enough of these half-assed "writer" friends of yours. If you HAD tackled Towle, Humm, and the rest of the anti-Irish agenda NYC gay ghetto folk in your own book, you would have had a REAL book about a real topic that has been the elephant in the room for too long ( AND sociologically and historically fascinating), instead of choosing the lame route, and been the mick Norman Mailer.

Of course (since you've gone the fluff route and refuse to cover anything in a real journalistic fashion) the irony will always be that Colin Finnerty successfully sued N.C. for millions, greatly due to the Towleroad attacks. The "Irish Catholic mick" whose life they tried to destroy will be living with all his new Manhattan property (and outstandingly handsome as well) long after Andrew Towle is forced out beause of the rising expenses. And no work of fiction could have produced a more just ending.
