This is garbage. You made no point for him plagiarising American Psycho at all!

Milo was engaged to a woman in 2011, when the engagement was broken Milo declared he chose to live as a gay because he didn't want to deal with "crazy broads". His world crusade against women had started. He blackmailed a woman Margot Huysman with dirty pictures, called her a "common slut, permanently unemployable in London" and refused to pay (£3, 000) for her work at the "Kernel". Poor Margot was evicted from her flat, didn't have money for the food! I didn't find his marriage record in Hawaii, probably publicity stunt and hoax for money.

" I do not hope for a better world for anyone/I want no one to escape/ I want my pain inflicted on others... " - M.Y

Great story, KM.

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting.Description of said editor "pinching the bridge of his nose " gave me much lolz.

I attempted to get a first -time novel published by sending it to a real live literary Agent in N.Y.C.

" This needs a lot of work, " she said politely.I think that was superhuman effort on her part.

Then I self-published on the web and attempted mightily to clean up the novel upon review and ended up with five or six versions on the web, with a final and last - gasp version.

Then I said F$CK THIS SH$T and wrote a better, more personalized one.

My Pops gently called the first one " Vanity. "..

Also 2, link to County Clerk's online copy of lawsuit plus edited novel no longer works.Just like link to WSJ with Dame Peggington's recent screed was inoperable.

It's like the GOP blow hards are embarassed or something and scramble for the phone in order to threaten, berate, and shriek that they've been libeled by the press.

I’m picturing this note coming in the midst of a chapter on tax policy or something.”

The worst aspect of this is some "conservative" editor thought that this shit was worthy of salvaging just so they could attack the left.

me too. Like a Stephen King horror take on '80s consumerism & Wall St narcissism. Very disturbing, & I could never decide if the last couple chapters really happened or not.

The acquisitions editor probably only had visions of dollar signs dancing in his head. Actual editing & fallout from publication? "not my department"

"He has all of three beats he just hits over and over again." - that's really the ultimate recipe for success as an internet columnist. David Brooks has been doing it for 15 years.

Awesome to discredit him more in national media that can be cited.

Comment [A3] ...you're best points...

As vile as Milo is, I can't take that editor seriously.

I can only imagine they were so disheartened, they lost all sense of grammar, or indeed sense of sense....

Anyway, Bumble and Bumble - you can buy that in Boots* and get Advantage points - you don't need to go to a hipersterish East End salon!* ubiquitous UK high street chemist

Yet another overlooked Sartre title. (humourless but insightful book)

I just sent this to a friend who is the most stringent line-by-line, word-by-word editor I know. She will scream with mocking laughter.
