Well, slice us to ribbons under the Queen streetcar, if it isn’t David Roddis, ringmaster of slowpainful.com, freshly pandemicked, all caffeine’d up and ready to dissect the world at large with his scalpel of finely-wrought prose. And then some! Does the standard gay hook-up require actual teleportation? What are the skipping rhymes of Gen Z? Who’s Laurel to Greta Thunberg’s Hardy on Planet Titanic? What would William Blake’s twenty-first-century Proverbs of Hell sound like? And did Judy Garland fake her own death, only to return as former child star Ethylene Glum? In his second round-up of personal and political essays - witty, caustic, provocative and downright off-the-wall hilarious - Roddis speaks with the impassioned, authentic voice of the generation of gay men who were famous for just being funnier.
