Jonathan Ames has a great blog about his HBO TV series Bored to Death. In this post he talks about the irony of engaging in an S&M session with his former student and then the very next evening being part of a presentation on torture put on by the PEN American Center and the ACLU. Then he goes on to give sweet and interesting behind the scene details on each of the show’s episodes. It’s like being able to travel alongside Ames’ writerly life, from his love of Russian spas to his affinity for the Brooklyn coast, all with a little flogging along the way.
