‘Not particularly funny’ debut novel by Louis C.K. coming this fall by GonzoDT Related: Need help with a gift idea Leech by Hiron Ennes is huge wasted potential Anyone else absolutely HATED Brave New World because of the language used?

Kiggen on May 21, 2025 7:21 pm Conventional wisdom: “Write about what you know” Louis: “I’ll write about an impoverished Texan boy fighting to survive” Sounds riveting. Oh man, unless this is some sort of metaphor for being cancelled. Eww.
