Kim Deal & Me: 4 Stories - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Ryan Forsythe (Author)

For a creative writing class in the mid-90's, Ryan Forsythe wrote a short story about two guys who drive in search of their favorite rock star. The class loved "Slack and Me and the Quest for Kim Deal"; the teacher not so much. Ryan followed up with "Writer's Block," a thinly veiled critique of the teacher and the writing of "Slack and Me." And then for a nonfiction class the next year, he wrote an essay about (among other things) the writing of the story about the writing of the story. And then, still later, he learned the Breeders would be in town and he decided he should try to get Kim the first of those stories. Already available for years as an e-book, the full story of all of the above is now available the old-fashioned way: in print. Yes, it's the fiction stories, the nonfiction essay, and the true story of what happened when he ventured to the Breeders show in Columbus with a ten-page short story sticking out of his back pocket. And a goal. A quick and fun read sure to be appreciated by fans of alt-rocker Kim Deal-heck, for anyone who ever wanted to meet their hero. Or who just hated their writing teacher.
