I'll take "very Gabe" and run with it. As far as the whole costume dept goes, it's probably based on some kind of reality, but I honestly can't recall what is "real" and fabricated in those stories anymore. It all took on a life of its own - specifically, so I don't have to think about it anymore.Gabriel Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658908195680279716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430694888157195582.post-58220948289923812722019-04-28T11:47:04.908-07:002019-04-28T11:47:04.908-07:00It’s a drag we live in a paradigm where creatives ...It’s a drag we live in a paradigm where creatives are compelled to explain themselves so often just to “prove” they’re/we’re not anti-whatever. Anyways, I finished both your novellas and enjoyed them thoroughly. They landed somewhere between Kafka and Nathaniel West for me, which is an immense compliment. Make no mistake though— they were very Gabe, which is very good. <br /><br />On a personal note, I related far, far too much to Caleb, and all of the characters felt very, very known to me. I’m one of those non-antiseptic non-gatekeepers though. Anyways looking forward to the next one and I’ll see you Friday at Alex’s. <br /><br /></3 Sterling<br /><br />P.S. You mention Caleb’s mother worked in the costume department at the local theater. Is this based on reality? My mom worked in the costume department at Laguna Beach Playhouse and I spent my youngest years there.Sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990453198498992717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430694888157195582.post-43887414891950524162019-04-28T00:20:39.281-07:002019-04-28T00:20:39.281-07:00Thank you, Kim.

Your book sounds as if you're writing about my time as a teen in Los Angeles. The people I knew, the phase I was, how I haunted myself, and still do. I'm sure I'll find glimpses of myself in your painfully human exploration of ourselves. Goodnight. Kim Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964505679962295584noreply@blogger.com
