Email Exchange on Woke Censorship of Men
RECENT EXCHANGE WITH A FRUSTRATED WHITE MALE WRITER: Writer: Dear Glenn, I am a Pulitzer Prize winning writer… My latest novel XXX (2017) was represented by XXX Agency, which is no longer viable. It was described as “Guy Lit” by one reviewer, a male-oriented story of alienation in the family and culture. My ambition as a writer is and has always been to bring men to literary fiction. Equus: Thanks for contacting me at Equus… I am looking for “guy lit”, it is a pet peeve of mine that men no longer read. If...
read moreJihad Bubba Ad Completed-Results
The Equus ad has finished running. Compared to FB, X has been efficient, reaching 540,000 people for only $300, or more precisely 540,000 ‘impressions’. That’s a bargain anywhere. I won’t know for a while how many copies of JIHAD BUBBA were actually sold by Amazon, if any, but the website quadrupled traffic for several days. More people are now aware (hopefully) that Wokeness can be mocked via sci-fi satire, which was my main purpose. I hoped to help correct the notion that serious messages can’t be conveyed with...
read moreRunning an X ad for Jihad Bubba
This is the first ad I have run with X. “Hardworking Bubba Gray is obsolete in a future U.S. of Rainbowstan where ‘pre-citizens’ surge the borders, purple-haired teens make all the rules, and smart-alec robots crash their taxis—till one day he goes full ‘jihad’, with hilarious results.” I had to change my usual description of the book from ‘with unpredictable consequences’ to ‘hilarious results’ in an attempt to avoid the algorithm / moderators. The issue is that any title that has...

Regarding the many science fiction writers that I have in my collection of hardbacks and paperbacks, I have several of their works that are rare editions. The writers include Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and many more. See my latest postings of rare books below. My purpose, as mentioned before, is not to flip them by offering them for sale, but to simply let others know what is in my library. Click pictures to go to the assigned pages with full information. Conan – Red Nails, by Robert E. Howard, edited by...

What’s the most times you can repeat the same word consecutively in a sentence and still retain meaning? Here’s a sentence with 7 words in a row. It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to. Anyone for any more? Posted by Josef Essberger February 2008 Can anyone explain this to me? Words are my specialty but this is a hard one! -Glenn Credit is to. . . 7 That’s in a Row...
read moreCollectible Books in my Sci-Fi Collection
For some years now I have been collecting popular n sometimes quite rare editions of popular science fiction books, both paperback n hardback. Writers include Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, n many more. My purpose is not to flip them by offering them for sale, but to simply make others aware of what is in my library. In theory, I suppose, my entire library could be purchased, but currently I am more interested in buying than selling. First item: 1970 Double Edition of A Princess of Mars, illus. by Frank Frazetta....
read moreLaws of Human Society-Edited
Conclusions I have come to after many years of contemplation: Fundamental Principle #1: Law of Infinite Hypergamy. The higher the percentage of women in power, the more porous a nation’s borders will be, in order to expand women’s potential mating pool of high status males to an infinite asymptote. Corollary to Law of Infinite Hypergamy: vanishing borders are the clearest sign that one lives in a wholly dominant matriarchy. Fundamental Principle #2: Law of Inverse Value. The more popular something is, the less it is worth. The...

45 is a Colt, and a short playing plastic record, and a Malt Liquor. And that’s the last time I hope to type ‘and’ when ‘n’ is quicker n easier. If dolts don’t get it, that’s their problem. I’m tired of dumbing down everything for people who can’t read above a 4th grade level. If my books were to suddenly become popular, I would conclude that I had done something terribly wrong because only low-quality books ever become popular while t best books, n certainly t most intelligently written,...
read morePronouns For Thee and Me
I can’t help but make public my own pronouns. Keeping in mind that others must now address me by these legally enforceable identity-confirming words, I specify the following pronouns: “Hey You!”; “What the hell?”; “Your aunt said what?”; and “Oh, really?” I have more pronouns but they don’t compare to Jihad Bubba’s carefully selected pronouns. You’ll have to read the book to learn what his pronouns are and the legal trouble he got into because of them. If I mention them...
read moreThe Traditional Publishing Scam
In former times–meaning antedeluvian–I worked for a small press. I reviewed unsolicited manuscripts, called the slush pile, to locate undiscovered gems for publication and I also did some editing. Not once did the small press publish anything that came over the transom. If they wanted to publish something like a vampire novel, for instance, instead of putting something from the slush pile under contract, they would assign the task of writing the desired mss to one of the staff editors and totally ignore the slush pile. The editor,...
