kill Christian

"Pablo D'Stair is defining the new writer. There is NO ONE else. As reckless as Kerouac's 120-foot trace paper, D'Stair's independence from all of us needs to be studied and celebrated." (TONY BURGESS author of People Live Still In Cashtown Corners)

From KILL CHRISTIAN:

They would be very sincere and polite, having quite a nice time conversing with an old man on an airplane. They would ask him why he was traveling and he would not answer them 'To kill a man'. No. He would amuse them with stories of all the places he had traveled, all of the boats and trains and long hikes he had taken in his lifetime. He would tell them of great love affairs under the open sky, of waking in the bed of another man, beside this man's wife, her face looking at him with regret, she knowing how he knew already he would have to leave. He would ask them their names and their replies would be of no consequence. They would ask him his and he would say 'Christian'.

"D'Stair doesn't just write like a house afire, he writes like the whole city's burning, and these words he's putting on the page are the thing that can save us all." (STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES author of The Only Good Indian)
