The writing is in your DNA, I get that. Nina Dee made me think of Kiki Dee, but I'm probably the only person you know who would make that association.
The blacked out portion is a long and very personal conversation with Karin about grief. Though we have never met physically (at least in this incarnation) it is a bond I feel with you, and treasure.
I gotta level with you ... I had to look up Kiki Dee. I know "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," and I think that's it. I'll add her to my rotation, though, for sure.
That's an interesting thought. Maybe I'll write that scene. I know where it would be set, too. It's this restaurant that we always went to back on the Jung. Pretty sure there's a scene in Everything Fails set there, where I bump into Nassau. Maybe I moved that to another book ... I dunno. Shit's scattered all over everywhere right now. But I feel that bond, too, Jeff, and it's important to me, as well.
Permanoon, cell stories, and cigarettes, love it. So meta in the original meaning of the word.
My very first short story, "Solitary Confinement," which I wrote in fifth grade, was also metafiction. Kind of my home style, I guess ;)
Love it.

This was her big US hit in 1974, but she was making records as early as 1963.
I dig it. The title is reminiscent of the whole 'storied city in my cells' idea.
