publicity humiliation
With publicity comes humiliation.
giving body clients
I was like a social worker for lepers. My clients had a chunk of their body they wanted to give away; for a price I was there to receive it.
book harder wells
Whether I'm critically well received, whether or not I sell books - of course it becomes progressively harder to get them published - nevertheless, it's what I do, every day.

I think the sixties must have been quite a lot of fun.
voice jazz snaps
Brownstein's is a fresh and jaunty voice, with a jazz snap all his own.

want way stories
I don't want my novel to be like Madame Bovary, finely crafted with the life edited out of it. I want my novel to be like a friend telling me a story -- so we go off on thoughts; that's the way it is.
