Though I am ever mindful of Potter’s warning against overexplaining, I seem to have gone and done an interview about Surfing with Mel with longtime Friend of Korrektiv The Ironic Catholic. Many, many thanks for her interest and fine questions.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

It was fun. Thanks for agreeing to it.
Excellent interview, although I wish she would have pushed you about Benghazi.
His involvement is sufficiently proven to merit redundancy.
Besides, he’d just say “I blame Surfing With Mel.”
You need to keep an eye on that one, he’s all right now.
“You have a frustrated Catholic artist, a guy with anger issues who’s struggling with faith, home-brew theology, a loving spouse… I pretty much just walked into the funhouse and wrote what I saw in the mirror.”
Wait, whose funhouse are you talking about here, Mel, er, I mean – Matt?
JOB
There you go. Mel is burning to be the next member of the funhouse Kollectiv.
Has anyone forwarded a copy to Mel’s agent yet?
Gimme a name and address.
I found this – and the phone number still works! I told them I was your agent, and set up lunch for next week.

(Seriously, the number does work.)
Now all we need is a hard copy. I hope you got us a table at a proper Jewish deli.
Yes, a hard copy indeed…
But I hear there’s this app by which you can read the text on your PC or laptop.
JOB
Indeed. But Icon doesn’t seem to include an email address.
Good interview —
Good questions,
Good answers.
Good luck!
Thank you, sir.
Questions are easy. Answers are hard. So say my students.
And luck is hardest of all.
