Reminded me a bit of Noises Off!, and, like The Wasteland, it's really about the footnotes. I have often wondered how two writers collaborate on something without killing each other. It turns out maybe they don't, actually. I understand Lutz is a fairly successful crime/mystery writer and I'm sure she's a nice person once you get to know her, but I have to say, her chapters were a bit lame and boring -- hackneyed, even -- and in her notes, she comes off as a controlling, petty bitch. Dude, you can't INVITE a POET to write a murder mystery with you and then get huffy when he does something interesting. Also, she has really annoying and archaic things to say about women. Speak for yourself, Lutz; I've brought more than one guy to the floor in whimpers, and I'm only 5'3". It doesn't take much, my brother's wimpiness notwithstanding. Anyway. I was really entertained by this. My favorite chapters were the even-numbered ones, written by Hayward, and Chapter 14 made me snort and giggle uncontrollably out loud, to the point where Curtis turned around to stare at me TWICE.
