Russell Bradbury-Carlin begins today releasing his humor collection, A Brief Conversation with My Hair:
A Brief Conversation with My Hair is a collection of short literary humor pieces that have been previously featured on such websites at McSweeney’s, Yankee Pot Roast, The Big Jewel, Opium Magazine, and The Science Creative Quarterly. Some of the titles (which may give you an idea of the content) are: “The Calls of Cthulu”, “All I Need to Learn, I Learned From Kindergarten Cop”, “Diary of a Grocery Cart”, “Dionysus: Party Clown”, and “A Brief Conversation with My Hair”. The forty-plus pieces in this collection find the bizarre in the everyday or some bit of the everyday in the already bizarre. If you ever wondered if Allen Ginsburg could have put his considerable talent to writing pay-per-click ads or how Calvin and Hobbes may have responded to reading Hemingway, you will find the answers here.
The first five episodes are in the default feed and more will be added as they come in. If you want to control that a bit more, subscribe to this free serialized audiobook with a custom feed, and choose how often new episodes are delivered to you.

This has got to be THE BEST book title ever! Now I have to listen!

A small fact-check quibble from someone who read Calvin and Hobbes obsessively as a kid: ‘Hill Like Stuffed Tigers’ mentions a ‘Margaret’. Margaret is the name of the female secondary character from Dennis the Menace, Susie Wilkins is the girl who lives on Calvin’s block. If you meant Margaret to be Calvin’s mother (Calvin’s parents are never named) I suggest you use a different Hemingway-ish name!

You are right….I am embarrassed….I was a Calvin and Hobbes fan as a kid, too. I wrote this piece a number of years ago and it has been posted on a website for years, as well as being printed as read on the podcast in my book. I meant Margaret to be Suzie…opps. When I have the opportunity to change it in the future, I will. Thanks for catching it!
