People Are Talking

The below post was one of the first things that I posted on www.blasmanueldeluna.com. I had started that website to pimp my book, but the thought of doing that made me sad, so I instead decided to make fun of myself. I'm great at that.

The book's out there, and it's starting to get some heat. Writers, really famous ones, have things to say.



This book made me want to drink battery acid and sleep with whores.
—Charles Bukowski


This is just to say
that this book really sucked.
—William Carlos Williams


The book doesn't contain multitudes,
but it didn't kill me.
—Walt Whitman
