This episode, I'll be reading the fifth chapter, Shark, from my non-fiction manuscript, F*ck Bubble, to my friend Marc in St. Francisville, Louisiana.


Shark details a time in my life when everything fell apart: my parents were in a car accident, my estranged brother re-entered my life after a fifteen year absence and our father died. Meanwhile, Mack was going through his own set of traumas halfway around the world. We were there for each in ways unmatched since we'd first met in 1999. That deep sense of camaraderie and support came to a sudden halt though one sultry August night in 2011 in a flat at the storied San Remo on Central Park West in NYC. 


In addition to discussing the reading, Marc and I talk about poppers, decorating Fifth Avenue townhouses and tornado preparedness, or lack thereof.
