from "Second Novel"
She becomes his girlfriend and says, a number of times, to him and to other people, that there are so many types of mustard but only one type of ketchup, really, when you think about it, because they had just found a way to do it right. Ketchup, that is. Possible, he thinks, that she never says that, always someone else, he wrongfully attributes it to her, possible, he thinks, but he doubts it.

this is a brilliant piece of writing. it's as simple as that. every line is perfect (especially the one about the mustard and the one about wrongfully attributing it to her and the one about the ketchup and the one...well, let's just say i was impressed.
okay. so i just read the excerpt again -- like between the end of the first paragraph and the beginning of this one! lol -- and i can say without hesitation that it gets better every time.
(cue britney because i just did it again! the third motherfuckin' time tonight!!!! LOL!!!!!)
anyhow, when i first saw that your book was getting published my initial reaction was: "boy oh boy with all his recent practice that zach german guy must be top-notch at performing the fellatio; however, after reading the totally post-worthy paragraph from your second novel a few more times all i can say is there's a new writer in town, boys, and his name is him: zach german!!!! lol
again, terrific job all around; kudos for everything!
really?
very "complex"
like an uneducated david foster wallace
nice comma usage
mustard for life yo
nice
anonymous comments are occasionally terrifying
the ones on this post make me chuckle - i guess
people seem to be talking about DFW a lot lately
too much, in fact - i think people are just throwing his name around now to sound fancy
anyway, i'll ketchup with you later
hehe i'm a regular sillywiggins
zach, why do so many people hate you so very much?
i'm not trying to start a fight, i am 'genuinely interested'.
i think zach's the cat's pajamas
