dear anyone who has read Pulphead by John Jeremiah Sullivan

I very very much want to discuss that second-to-last essay, “Violence of the Lambs.”

Or, at least, share a mental fistbump over how awesome its ending was.

It’s online in full, here. But oh god, that image. They went very literal with that.
