…have nothing in common. But that passages from Waiting for the Man are being quoted in the most unlikely of places fills me with an odd kind of joy. In this case, a line about farming. I know, like I’m some expert.

This a day after my local bookstore, the great Drawn & Quarterly, the place where I launched Waiting for the Man back in April, listed their 25 bestsellers so far in 2014 and…look: my neighborhood loves me. I don’t know how booksales are going overall but that the book is doing well at my bookstore, well, icing. Whatever else has happened, that’s icing on the proverbial cake. Not sure what that cake is made of, but it’s still cake, and cake is good. Because it’s cake.
Mmmm…..cake
