1) i don't know if i'm too late but i just wanted to say i love your work & choke is an incredibly important book to me & thank you so much, man. you're kind of a hero to some of us sad little gay kids.
- Compared to my lonely messed-up kill-yourself childhood, these days are unbelievable. Fuck the idea that ”it gets better.” It can get absolutely incredible.
2) You made me wanna be a writer.
- Stop blaming me! Now be a writer.
3) This is not a question, I'd just like to say you are one of the most amazing human beings ever and your writing is my favorite thing in this world. Thank you.
- Mom? Is that you? Please, tell me you’re in Heaven…
4) You are my favorite author of all time, hands down. I know it's irrelevant, but fucking thank you for existing.
- Thank my dead parents. I do.
5) What is your favorite quote (or quotes)?
- My favorite quote is from Amy Hemple who wrote: “What dogs want is for no one to ever leave.” My second favorite quote is from Nora Ephron who wrote: “Sex plus guilt equals good sex.”
6) Which one of your characters do you most relate to?
- This is my moment in history… no one has ever known anything about the Ukraine ( at least no one I’ve known ) until now. As a weird immigrant kid with a weird Ukrainian name, I will always identify with Pygmy. But I have never sodomized anyone in a Wal-Mart bathroom. That part is fiction. ( mostly )

хотя страницу все равно обновляю в надежде, что он ответит на мои два вопроса, но что-то пока все приостановилось.
