Very entertaining interview. I hadn’t followed her career. But her influencers are mine as well. Especially Warren Hinckle, whose muckraking style was invigorating. His “Who Killed Hunter S. Thompson?” adorns my bookshelf. Thanks!
As a longtime ex-SF resident (11 years from ‘91-‘02) you and Ms. Wilson’s smartly smartass cultural critiques were what this fellow wannabe Hunter S (w a sprinkling of PK Dick) happily dined on for free in the Guardian and Examiner and wherever else your printed works would come across my eyeballs in the days before we all had a “feed.” Reading your conversation felt like sitting with two old friends remembering the raucous frontier days before the world entered the upside-down. We barely knew how good we had it!
I have adored Cintra Wilson ever since A MASSIVE SWELLING came out, with picture of her with her hair on fire on the back. I bought it simply on the basis of the subtitle and that picture, but the contents added up to something much greater. The world being as it is, humor and satire, always my faves, are infinitely more important than anything else these days. I share her love of Hunter Thompson, but she's definitely got her very own voice. As I get older I'm drawn to female writers for the sharpness and cruelty minus the machismo, which is infinitely tiresome since I live in the heartland. God bless you, Cintra, and long may you wave!!!
I revere you as Galahad revered...I guess the Virgin Mary. Well, there you go. I may have been thinking of a different knight, but at my age I'm loath get killed for honor.
Great job. Thanks for getting her to fill in some puzzle pieces of the past and illuminate the present of Substack
thanks Bucky!
Amazing read! This is the table I want to sit at in the high school cafeteria in heaven.
You can def sit at our table!
Now, I must read her. "the bardo of Hungry Ghosts..." hahahahah! Brilliant!
Damn! Great interview. Forwarding to my ladies.
Fantastic interview! I'm a fan of Cintra's. Hers is some of the boldest, most outrageous, original writing out there.

Thanks Thomas I have a huge profile of Warren which I’ll share soon here
