The dude sure does get around. No wonder it takes eleven years to write one book, ahem, excuse me, put together words and sentences in a nervous awkward fashion. He’s like the special needs child of literature—the literary community treats him with kid gloves, they clap when he walks and smile proudly when he could mumble a coherent sentence and are absolutely astonished when he manages to publish in magazines. And he’s a professor!
Now who says you shouldn’t go full retard?

Lco Machine your hate is showing. Maybe you should write something of your own, ahem, excuse me, I almost forget it’s easier to hate on real writer than to put your lingo on paper My mistake. And Im sure Diaz is famous cuz the literary community treats him with kid gloves. Riiiiiggght. Hey, whatever lets you get to bed at night. Make sure you tUck yourself in tight too, Loco. You in for a long long sleep.
PS If Diaz is special needs what are you Loco? Sarah Palin’s son?
