Dave Brat’s Democratic Opponent is (virtually) Illiterate, Thinks “Karl Marx” is Spelled with a C
The left has spent the better part of a week making fun of Dave Brat. Unfortunately his opponent, Jack Trammell likes writing vampire novels and is about the world’s worst writer.
His book, “Sarah’s Last Secret” was published through Mundania Press, home of book covers with badly photoshopped dragons and couples in various states of undress. Books with titles like “Demon Lover” and “Claiming a Princess” and under genres, lists “Werewolves”, “Curvaceous” and “Interracial”.
Sadly Jack Trammell’s book is not about a gay demonic curvaceous interracial werewolf. Or as Rachel Maddow calls it, “The Perfect 2016 Democratic Presidential Candidate.”
........
Take this excerpt, “I read Shakespeare and George Eliot on my own, then blew off Harold Nicholson and Carl Marx that were required for a class.”
That’s one of the least laughable sentences in Sarah’s Last Secret. Still Trammel does try to awkwardly marry Socialism and a really bad romance novel.
“Dana Beech was pretty in a proletariat sort of way”
Like many good liberals, Trammell isn’t just economically illiterate. He actually is illiterate.
“They both had gained weight, but looked to be in the peak of physical and mental healthiness.”
“I sat down on a couch and absently flipped open the book on International Relations I had drug along for amusement.”
“Even in the choral foyer behind the alter. ”
“This was a final gift from him that magnified his tragedy and took it away all in one feel swoop.”
And then there’s the writing itself. I don’t think I’ve read anything this bad ever.
“How I wished I could avoid that first apology that would slide out from between her lips, like some kind of bird sharing its dead meal with the prodigal son.”
“I felt some inner organ that would be the equivalent of knees begin to buckle.”
Who doesn’t love that mental image?
“One thing both of my parents accused me of was being melodramatic, and my newly found editor friend, Dana, had accused me of being too cliche.”
You don’t say.
But if you don’t like Jack Trammell the writer, maybe you’ll like Jack Trammell the poet.
what we really have to thank the romans for:
litigation
199? what?
counting single raindrops as they fall down
over 100,ooo new books enter the world
marching like spartan soldiers
trained to fight
illiterate goose-stepping fire ants
AND the medium may be the message
internet trash
10,ooo new web sites a day
new ideas like the dodo bird
199? the age of unreason
great literature = great television
ezra pound + charles dickens = cnn
“at behest of usura”
shame on us
199? looking at single raindrops
through electron microscopes while
THE THIEF IS AT THE DOOR
