@samm_lozz I'm honestly not really a big fan of his.  His interviews are funny, some of his poetry and short stories are OK...  That said, 'Hollywood' had some funny parts.  If you like him you might enjoy 'Women', it got a bit tedious for me personally but I'll chalk that up to not being particularly a fan.  The person who suggested I read it enjoyed it a lot.
