This is what I write. Women talking to each other. It seems to be so much of what I write. I don’t know. I would like to believe that I capture it decently. I’ve spent much of my 20′s in the company of women and I think I have some sense of the way in which they speak to each other.
I mean I have always aspired to write a book about women as good as Ghost World. Clowes is at the top of his game on that book. And I know he, much like I credits his writing to just spending large amounts of time around women.
Look at this dialogue. I think I rip this stuff off even more than I know. And of course “God. Don’t you just love it when you see two really ugly people in love like that?” I pray to God I might one day write a line of dialouge that good.
