Asya and I went over the second batch of copyedits for the new book. âOn page twenty-six, Iâd like to change asshole to arsehole, if thatâs okay,â I said at one point. A while later I heard myself say, âThat should be a comma after cunt, not a period.â
Jesus, I thought. What kind of a writer am I?

At last nightâs book signing I met a Harvard professor. We got to talking and when I referred to someone or other as a barbarian, he asked if I knew what the word originally meant. âItâs someone who canât speak Greek,â he said. âSomeone who makes a sound like bar-bar-bar. Funny, huh?â
Later in the evening I met a woman from Bucharest. âMy publicist is Romanian,â I told her. âNot full-blooded like you, but still, she can curse a little. Her favorite saying taught to her by her grandparents is âI shit inâ¦â God, what is that? âShit inâ¦ââ
ââI shit in your motherâs mouthâ?â the Romanian woman asked. âThatâs probably what it was. Itâs a very popular curse.â
She walked away and I thought, Well, I can see why. I shit in your motherâs mouth. Does it get any nastier than that?
