neil labute is a golden god.
i have read a lot of his work in the past including his short story collection, but i just read Fat Pig today, and it is just so insightful. i love that labute does not seem to feel the need to write hundred plus page manifestos. that he is simple and direct. his clarity and the very razor sharpness that he must edit himself with is so brilliant. i dream of writing in this way - unfortunately i tend to either run off at the mouth (in email and blog format particularly it seems) or i suspect my work is brief because i simply do not dig deep enough (my novels, scripts, and short fiction particularly) and not because i have some kind of highly tuned ability to censure myself.
oddly my graphic novel draft is a hefty 170 page nightmare opus. don't know where that one came from...
