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.

Well, beggar my belief!
There’d be a risk — a big risk — of creating something cocooned so thickly in its own esoteric mythology that it would lose its connection with, and relevance to, the actual factual non-fictional world, and so lose its reason for being, BUT: Lives of Famous Catholics could conceivably create its own internally-consistent ‘secret history’ of famous Catholics. That is, the fictionalized elements of one story could carry over to another. Lady Gaga could buy Mel Gibson’s [real] Costa Rican estate, discover the [fictional] Oberammergau costume in the chapel, and incorporate said costume into her act.
The trick to doing this right, I think, would be to make any such crossover references absolutely inessential to understanding or enjoying the story. They would be totally incidental, marginal details, to be spotted or not by people who’ve read the other stories.
So consider this comment a throwaway thought about throwaway details.
Something to save for the collected edition.
Summer crossover event!
That’s the spirit.
The property is really the movie rights to II Macabees.
Could be a pip.
God’s finger is on you, Matthew.
‘Thank you, your honor!’
It is a fearful thing to fall under the finger of the living God.
