If you want to read a great book, read Geek Love!
That's the one written by Katherine Dunn, right? What's your favorite part of the book?  
My favorite parts are all based on Artie's actions.
Hmm, I'll have to give it a read. Have you read any of her other pieces? Attic and Truck are both pretty good reads. 
 I confess that I have not read her other work. However, I will read them. If they are as good as Geek Love, I will enjoy them.
It's almost the anniversary of her passing, I wonder if they'll do a reading or some sort of remembrance. I read that they probably won't release CutMan out of respect for her passing, part of me still wishes I  could read it but I also understand her point of view. 
It's interesting to note that she was a boxing writer. That's not a usual occupation for a fiction writer.
It is fascinating but it just goes to show how resilient she was. She boxed up until her diagnosis. Her son Eli said she was a real craft that required constant effort  and I BELIEVE IT, HAHA. 
It shows that it's never too late to try something new!  It's a tragedy that she died so early. I think a movie should be made about Geek Love.
Absolutely it speaks directly to what it is to be a human. 
That's exactly it! Although the characters are geek and freaks, no one is immune from being human. You nailed it!
