Who doesn't love a list? Here's a list (PLUS THE AFTERLIST) from my novel PLAN B (THE SECRET JOURNALS OF VON SPATZL).


The Philosophy of Von Spatzl
1. A red cardinal flutters in space in front of my eyes, very fast, and forever. That is me.
2. A hole in the ground becomes the sky above, Chinese people amble about.
3. Numbers are noble citizens who never get to vote.
4. The purpose of life is to conquer your fear of death.

You see one thing happened after another complicating the situation and accelerating it, wrote Von Spatzl later that night in his Night Journal Vol. XVl. He drew a picture of the Yellow Cutlass, overturned, burning, the stars shining above.
His mother called again today and asked when he was going to get a job.

“You’re a good for nothing bum,” she declared.

Under his breath Von Spatzl laughed because he had a new weapon to use against his mother: The Austrian Girl.
