...think I succeeded in doing that. That's not to say that all men are alcoholics or sexual predators, certainly not. But there is a way in which we view the world that is not unlike some of the stuff that goes through Bunny's head, a sort of running sexual commentary. Some men will admit this and some men won't. Women also like the character because I've revealed something they've suspected about men all along...
...named the book The Death of Bunny Munro, which sort of gives away the ending. Why remove the element of surprise? It does take the element of surprise out but it ramps up the tension quite a lot. We know he's going to die, but we don't know how he's going to do it. He's constantly in life-threatening situations, so when he does die it's kind of a shock...
Runway shows are notorious for their over-the-top, impractical outfits, and the Spring 2010 New York Fashion Week (which runs Sept. 10-17, 2009, obviously) was no exception.

It's changed the pace and cadence of our days dramatically. We spend much more time with screens and electronic devices and mediated contacts than we do in face-to-face contact with other human beings...
...speculate that America might be experiencing something similar to the downfall of Rome. Yet you reject that idea. The main reason I'm optimistic is because America is a society that is constantly refreshed by immigration. The demography of this country is changing so constantly and unpredictably that I sort of think it's going to be renewed and refreshed and changed going forward. I also don't think this is a despicable or amoral society. I just think it's of a warped and alienated and weird time...
