Introduction	Future author of the Dead Wrestlers trilogy. Pushcart Prize-nominated scribe of four other books including The Thief (link below) and the short story collection Puppet Shows. Also in the works: a fourth, non-wrestling novel and perhaps a memoir. The latter may never happen.
Interests	Being with my wife and two children, writing, reading, Boston sports, mindlessly watching crap on Netflix or Hulu or Amazon or BritBox or Rifftrax.
Favorite movies	Comedies from the 1930s and 40s, especially the Marx Brothers, WC Fields and many of the Screwball Comedies (any comedy with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Irene Dunne, Carole Lombard, Katherine Hepburn, William Powell, Myrna Loy or Claudette Colbert). Also the Monty Python films. And The Wrestler, if you want something from this century.
Favorite music	Old jazz (1920s to 1950s BeBop), classical (Haydn, Mozart, Vivaldi, Handel, Bach), mid-to-late 60s classic rock (Beatles, Who, Stones, anything Clapton did), mid 90s chick alt-rock (Veruca Salt, Letters to Cleo, Juliana Hatfield, Garbage), old blues (Robert Johnson, Mississippi Sheiks, some of the blind fellows), Sixpence None the Richer, Broomtree, and some hair band stuff.
Favorite books	A Confederacy of Dunces, The Complete Prose of Woody Allen, anything by PG Wodehouse, A Clockwork Orange, anything by or about WC Fields or Groucho Marx, that one book Rik Mayall wrote, anything by John Lennon, Portnoy's Complaint, I also dig SJ Perelman, James Thurber and Donald Barthelme. And I own some humor books published in the 40s that I'm quite fond of. Also James Joyce's Ulysses, despite my not having giving it a second read since I first read it in 1995.

Aren't papier mache cuts the worst?

I'm just gonna ignore this question and list some favorite TV shows: Toast of London, Black Books, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, Bottom, Filthy Rich and Catflap, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Seinfeld, The Dick Van Dyke Show
