Pugilistic pundits and prolific
purveyors of protagonists Jonathan
Ames and Craig Davidson duked it out at Gleason's tonight in Dumbo Brooklyn, to a record crowd of 300 spectators that were first entertained by the gyroscopic gyrations of Miss Saturn.
Each round was announced by a husband and wife team: the
Mangina hoisting
Valmonte Sprout on his shoulders and parading about the ring in truly disturbing fashion - sure to warp the dreams of the
mantastic, steroid-induced spectators in the other ring. The ones that had to stop beating the shit out of each other to see what the hell was going on.
Now, I grew up with the Rocky films, so I was expecting three rounds of pure bloody confrontation. Instead, I found a lot of hugging or man cuddling in the first 2 rounds, but in the 3rd round, my expectations were redeemed by pure brutal brilliance. Hats off to SOHO PRESS for pulling off one of the best publicity stunts for a Canadian author ever. Eh?

So, who showed up on Ames' arm at the fight against Craig Davidson? 
Fionna Apple. Now there's a girlfriend for you. I wish my girlfriend would show up when I fight Letham. Especially if she was Winona Rider. Then she could shoplift his trophy. Jonathan definitely gives hope to nebbishly sexually confused Jewish men everywhere. Thank You Ames.

This has to be the coolest thing ever. Davidson v
Ames at Gleason's on July 26. Two authors duking it out all to promote a book? I say a resounding YES. There needs to be more fighting among rivals. Spontaneous brawls are fine if you're Toby Young, but a planned event is just brilliant. So, Letham, if you want to leave your Superman and Golom of Prague behind, I'm waiting for you!
