Painfully-literate, 20-year veteran of bitter aggro shitecomics and also a pretty good writer, Eugenio Negro is a large rodent of the species Lagidium Viscacia living in occupied Amah-Mutsun Ohlone territory. His novels deal with consumerism, classism, environment, language, perception, gentrification and police lynching. His comics are about the same only shorter and snottier.

The two perfectly common obstacles to writing, sometimes becoming "blockish," are: 1. lack of preparation for the subject/personal expectations/type of story and 2. fear of writing badly. I can't say much about 2 because I've never let that stop me from writing. The first 2 drafts are always bad! Honor the story and get it pretty!(less)

Literally priceless. I want to hike up into Cuyama (see, there is NO non-fascinating part of California!) to see how the paintings have fared since 1966 but of course I'm afraid of what I'll find out. ...more

Fascinating and detailed story of how we came to see the American Southwest as we do, that the post-freeway, post-airline US badly needs to remember. This paired with Mike Davis' City of Quartz really does make a great crash course in the 1880s-1920s ...more
