Thoughts and questions bugging me... 9/27/2007 3:50:33 PM
A couple of thoughts, a couple of questions, a couple of pointless observations.... There are many announcements you hear in an airplane, but "Drinks are on me" is definitely not a phrase you want to hear from your pilot...When someone says they "slept like a baby" do they mean they got in a solid two hours then woke up screaming?...Why does the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle have the same melody?...Explain to me the pyramids...Worse idea than having "So you think you can dance" on MTV, no, seriously, I dare you, come up with a worse idea...Is the "What actor/actress most sounds like their name" game the worse game ever?...and finally, a classic: When you choke a Smurf, what color does he turn?
David S. Grant is the author of Corporate Porn, an alcohol and sandwich fueled romp through the darker side of corporate America and the lighter side of the adult film industry. Corporate Porn can be purchased at http://www.silverthought.com/davidgrant/ Check out his website: http://www.davidsgrant.com
Coming in Fall 2007 from Offense Mechanisms, an imprint of Silverthought Press, two new novels by David S. Grant:
“BLEACH”, A New Year's Eve party where the men are dressed as prostitutes, a half-naked girl covered in blood lies on the bathroom floor... and the next person through the door is certain to have a gun.
“BLACKOUT”, (2 years later), A Vegas bachelor party, a murdered fifteen year-old girl, and the death of a friend causes a blurry hangover into a state of reality
Praise for David S. Grant’s work:
"David S. Grant’s Corporate Porn represents a bright new entrant to the unnamed genre of fiction from writers like Bret Easton Ellis and Chuck Palahniuk. This genre could be thought of differentially as black humor, satire, deadpan character study, and a dash of existentialism. Though no one has yet to put a name on it, Grant is throwing his lot in with the vibe of some of the very best 21st century American fiction....There is not a great way to describe how generational this book feels, but it does. I would be interested in getting the reaction from an older audience to this book, because so much of it feels like a Gen X inside joke. I think it is a little unbecoming to gush too much over a work like this, since that’s obviously the very thing that the author despises, so I’ll keep my qualitative comments to this: I couldn’t put it down."
"Mr. Grant's page-turner takes us into a world we may never go nor want to. We become engulfed and intrigued, maybe even voyeurs, through his characters lives. His characters could be any one of us.
Definitely writer and movie savvy."
"Wow, talk about imagery. Geez, that razor blade in the mouth and the way you described it...I liked it."
"Fresh and Daring...well penned"
"Opening the cover of this book starts an adventure and from page to page you're not sure what is to be expected. The dialogue is witty and humorous. The story moves at a rapid pace with constant action keeping you on your feet. Corporate Porn is an enjoyable, quick read."
"Great lead-in. After one sentence I want to know more..." “David S. Grant’s work is like reading an aggressive screenplay in paragraph form. The story and dialogue are tight and the sarcasm drips with humor.”
"Excellent! You had me from the first work...more, more, more."
"I laughed my ass off...I've been there so many times (minus the ecstasy)!"
"Strong and well written work...I can definitely relate to the characters...Excellent!."
"Wow! I really thought he would take it over the bridge! What an enthralling story!"
