< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Radar Exclusive! Emily Gould Book Proposal!
We'll just tell you that it's a first-person "assortment of semi-cautionary tales," in the manner of Sloane Crosely (her description), organized by Emily's tattoos, and that while, Gould says, most of the stories "will have nothing to do with blogs or blog-fame's weirdness," about "60,000-65,000 words feels about right for the material.New York then features a scanned excerpt from the proposal, which you can read here. While we congratulate them on their scoop, we want it noted that we also received the proposal. Our excerpt, which comes from the section in which Gould discusses her time at Gawker, follows. 
I don't know about you guys, but I think this might be the bravest, truest memoir ever published. 
Someone please give this man a blowjob! Posted by: jolie on June 26, 2008 3:14 PM I think he just himself one. Posted by: brilliantmistake on June 26, 2008 3:20 PM This is so bitingly brilliant and probably much more so than you intended. Posted by: karion on June 26, 2008 3:20 PM I was more impressed by the fact that he can simultaneously pound two cans of Old Milwaukee, text order pizzas, and still say something caustic to Bill O'Reilly on the TV. And how come you never turned on the AC when I was around, Balk? Posted by: KarenUhOh on June 26, 2008 3:27 PM Advertisement We all know there should be a "gave" in there, right? Posted by: brilliantmistake on June 26, 2008 3:30 PM WAIT I TAKE IT ALL BACK! BALK YOU FUCKER - LAY OFF OF LIZ!!! (No but really, someone should totally give you a blowjob anyway.) Posted by: jolie on June 26, 2008 3:35 PM "And how come you never turned on the AC when I was around Balk?" Balk's writing and KarenUhOh's comments....This is as good as it gets. Posted by: lilyb on June 26, 2008 4:00 PM no, it's just as gould as it gets! Posted by: yoko on June 26, 2008 5:19 PM Hah! Also, for the record, KarenUhOh can punctuate and I can't. sigh Posted by: lilyb on June 26, 2008 5:24 PM I'm calling my book And the Liver Says, "Ouch" Posted by: Balk on June 26, 2008 5:46 PM Oh, Balk. We all know you only turn up the AC so you can show the world your perky Aniston nipples. Posted by: Hez on June 26, 2008 6:01 PM Well, we're all in good company acknowledging the inherent truth in those words. Alex, Lester would be proud that he had someone to carry the torch. Posted by: sailor on June 26, 2008 6:41 PM I loved it until I saw the Liz Phair insult you snuck in. Posted by: Hailey Eber on June 26, 2008 7:18 PM It's funny. The type used in that excerpt above exactly matches the one used in those Texas National Guard memos about George W Bush that Dan Rather reported on on a few years back. Posted by: misterhippity on June 26, 2008 7:26 PM More of Alex Balk's writing please! There is a *really* good chance that I would buy your book Alex Balk (which is saying something bcuz i only buy "classics" of a sort, and I can foretell the future). Start shopping that proposal please. As for the current proposal inspiring said bidding war, The Mind says, "Whatever." Posted by: Judycats on June 26, 2008 10:46 PM so are her tattoos writing the book or just organizing it? Posted by: slinkimalinki on June 26, 2008 11:16 PM Can't wait till she promotes the book on Jimmy Kimmel. Posted by: yoko on June 26, 2008 11:57 PM alt. titles: "And My Cock said... suck." "And the heart said... bypass." Posted by: jolie on June 27, 2008 10:21 AM And the world said whatever? Posted by: worst_1_yet on June 28, 2008 11:09 AM |
