have decided to skip around instead of reading cover to cover

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

damn now i want rice and beans

rereading as a read-aloud to partner who has only seen the movie. what the hell is the horrific fatphobic crap in the introduction? fictionalized William Goldman is a horrific beast to his son. ironically for a book about the reader skipping the bits that suck, I absolutely skipped over the gnarly gross comments about his son's weight. what the hell. unnecessary to the plot and really unkind.

finding the intro essays boring, and I don't appreciate their characterization of traditional Mexican folk art as "naive." honestly get fucked.

might skip ahead to the "catalog" section, which is what I was most excited about when I checked out the book.

on this reread my first observations are

1. huh this being edgy in the 90s makes it more racist than i would expect from a contemporary book
2. (post-)cyberpunk protagonist John Percival Hackworth?? HACKWORTH??? hackworth.
