Hi John. Arrived here via Paul’s ‘Please Help!’ pingback, expecting to find more information about this book, which he clearly endorses. And yet I find nothing here but a teaser. Searching for ‘The Superstitious Naked Ape’ on that globe-spanning tax-avoiding monstrosity whose name should, ideally, not be the same as that of a rainforest (that’s being atrociously decimated as we speak), I can find two books by your good self, but not this one. Is this some cunning marketing ploy?
That’s because that’s not the name 🙂 I think Paul was juggling two or three thoughts. On the top right hand side of this page there are pics of the two books — The Owner of All Infernal Names, and On the Problem of Good. Click on those.
These are parody’s of Christian apologetics/theology. It’s Poe’s Law.
Have I mentioned booklinker.net to you before? I may have done, because I created a ‘genius link’ for one of them last month: http://mybook.to/OnTheProblemOfGood . And I’ve just created one for the other: http://mybook.to/AllInfernalNames (couldn’t do the full title, it’s longer than 22 characters). You might want to consider using those instead of the .com ones.
Hi John, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about writing over email correspondence? Since late last year The Owner of All Infernal Names has influenced my writing greatly, particularly a pessimistic piece over the course of a year or so. I’m a young writer in my early twenties and I was curious about the history of your work, your literary influences, and where you perceive its impact.

Ah, yes, Paul is an expert thought-juggler. His balls rarely drop.
Got your email, and responded 🙂
