I’m finishing up a collection of short stories. They are all linked by the fact that I wrote them. That’s the gimmick, the hook.

On Writing: The Darjeeling Limited
Jack: You wanna read a short story I wrote in France?
Francis: How long is it?
Jack: Nevermind, forget it.
…
Jack: What part are you on?
Peter: Nothing, it reminded me of something not related to it.
…
Peter: Is it supposed to be sad?
Jack: I think so.
Peter: Well, I’m not too crazy about the part where I start screaming at the mechanic. That never happened.
Jack: The characters are all fictional.
