Haha. In her own mind, Cat Marnell is a unique snowflake. It's like she saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and thought "I can do that" and developed the drug habit with none of the talent.

If she was actually talented and could write worth a damn, that'd be one thing. But she can't. Adderall, angel dust (people actually still do that?!) and famous people are all she talks about. Her name-dropping actually rivals that of Courtney Love and Jane Pratt (her mentor!).

If I read her book, my head would explode. Reading that paragraph took me 20 minutes. Punctuation is your friend.

Faulkner, she ain't.

She's terrifying and hilarious, I guess, if you've never actually known an addict/narcissist in real life. She's just not that interesting, but I guess enough people have never been closely involved with cokeheads who love themselves to want to read about her shit?

As a comment I read on Gawker forever ago said so painfully accurately, if the most interesting thing about you is your drug problem, you are really fucking boring.

Yeah, Cat Marnell's pretty much the picture you see when you look up "insufferable" in the dictionary.

Wow, I went to the source article and watched a brief bit of the interview. She can't even spit out a sentence. It's just strings of likes, you knows, and ums with no discernible train of thought. So, I stopped watching and looked at some of the "highlights" in print.

Simon & Schuster doesn’t know that’s what they’re about to be handed.

Cat Marnell is 31 years old.

People should understand that doing drugs doesn't make someone automatically interesting.

You know what her brain doesn't do when she takes too much Adderall? Add enough punctuation.

Then there's that moment where you think "Oh no, what did I do with that half eaten roll of mentos? Is it still in my bag? I said I had no food on the form!" and it seriously does feel like you're importing heroin and they're going to catch you out and it'll all be over. And then the beagles come and by then I'm

WHY CAN'T SHE GO AWAY ALREADY. WHYYYY???

Worth noting that those are, I believe, Aussie sizes.

Hello, do you like sex?
