Check out Wayne Koestenbaum's response. I think I have a crush on him now.
Here's Wayne:
Dear Venom--
I think I'll abstain from an actual real-time visit to the sacred space of your blog, but I am totally DELIGHTED by your attentions.
Sorry to have not given Cheryl Crane her due. I wrote both columns at the same time.
Thanks for avoiding articles in your letter. Isn't avoidance fun?
Yours truly,
Wayne
Me again:
I would like to point out that he did not mention the Apartment People doppelganger at all, leading me to believe that it was totally him.
i can't believe he wrote back! and so quickly. he's awesome!
ReplyDeleteyes, he was quite good at avoiding the whole apartment people issue. suspicious indeed...
whoa, i love him. maybe he worked secretly through apartment people to research hotels...maybe they are hotel-people, too.
ReplyDeletemore likely he was like: who are these crazy bitches? and who are apartment people?
If his next book is called Apartment People, we'll know for sure.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone at Apartment People is straight. Wayne probably works for the North Clybourn Group.
