It has not gone well for the writers so far. Yesterday was close, but Willie Nelson edged out Michael Chabon in our first down-to-the-wire contest.
This weekend is where the writers get it back: Paris Hilton vs. Jonathan Lethem.
Hey, I'm all for this Mr. T over Joyce Carol Oates stuff. I mean, it's T! But let's review the qualifictions of our two combatants today: One writes literary fiction, the other is illiterate and is, unfortunately, not fictional. One wrote a story featuring talking animals, the other is a giant talking vegetable. One wrote The Fortress of Solitude, the other owns a shitload of fortresses and abhors solitude. One wrote As She Crawled Across the Table, the other dances on tables.
This is too easy. Let's go, literary-style folks. The tide has to turn at Paris Hilton.

Hey now, Paris is also an author. Have we so quickly forgotten Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose?
Perhaps the book is best summed up by this Amazon reviewer:
"This book is very interesting!! She tells you how to look, act, sit, stand, like an heiress! She tells you the places to go and the places not to go during your vacation time. She tells you how to act around boys and know if they are just after your money or they love you because you are you. Paris tells you about her oter half Nicky Hilton, and about her dog Tinkerbell! This book if fun and interseting for all ages from 10-40. Whatever you want. You can always use a good read from Paris Hilton."
If Paris Hilton wins this thing, I'm boycotting Barrelhouse and all those involved. And I'm going to punch Mike in the back of the head.
