Party Monsters

A flyer for a party promoted by Michael Alig, which shoes Alig's friend Jennytalia apparently eating his brains from his skull. There is lurid, dripping text proclaiming the party's name: Bloodfeast

Which son of a famous author has more to do with the 1996 slay­ing of pop­u­lar drug dealer Angel Menen­dez than we have been led to believe?

Appar­ently, Son of Famous Author was obsessed with the char­ac­ter of Patrick Bate­man in the Bret Easton Ellis novel Amer­i­can Psycho. This made him the per­fect person to turn to when fab­u­lous party pro­moter Michael Alig decided to off his sup­plier and make off with thou­sands of dol­lars in drug money.

Con­trary to the offi­cial ver­sion of events, Alig and Son of Famous Author went shop­ping for body dis­posal equip­ment before Angel met his maker, not in a state of con­fu­sion after an argu­ment between Alig, Menen­dez and their pal Robert Riggs (aka Freeze) went trag­i­cally wrong.

For­tu­nately, the famous author in ques­tion was close to cer­tain per­sons in author­ity, so Son of Famous Author got off with five years prob­a­b­tion for steal­ing $3,000 from the per­sonal effects of the dead Columbian, instead of join­ing Alig and Riggs in cor­rec­tional facilities.

Ah, screw this blind item busi­ness: Read the Reuters report at the bottom of this page, and ponder the sig­nif­i­cance of the famous author’s famous author wife’s latest work of autofictionography.

  1. You’re so going to get sued!

  2. Should be free from legal action - it’s already run as a story quite openly in British Elle mag­a­zine. Inci­den­tally, people, don’t let all this Intrigue tempt you to go and see the film. It’s rancid pigflaps.

  3. She’s right, kids. Party Mon­ster the doc­u­men­tary is much the supe­rior work. And that’s still pretty weak.

  4. I imag­ine this scan­dalette is the only way Siri Hustvedt will con­vince oth­er­wise right-​thinking folk to read here cunty book.

    ‘So my step­son bla­tantly helped to murder some­one. What does this say about ME, ME, ME? Me, the glacial Scan­dana­vian lit­er­ary beauty mar­ried to the dash­ing Byronic genius? How do I feel about me, and murder, and step­sons, and me? Me! Me! MEEEEE!!!’

    The pair of them are just such colos­sal twats… I almost think I’d rather hang out with Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato…

    ‘The writer Paul Auster was squat­ting over a mirror, check­ing out his bum­hole by the fail­ing late-​summer light, when the tele­phone rang.
    “Is that the writer Paul Auster?” said a dash­ing, Byronic voice. “This, by some daring post­mod­ern quirk of lit­er­ary fate, is the writer Paul Auster. Let’s talk about ME!!!”
    They talked for fif­teen years about their own abun­dant fas­ci­nat­ing­ness, paus­ing only to check out the bum­hole of the infe­rior but glacially beau­ti­ful writer Siri Hustvedt, when she got home from her Lacan­ian hair-​lightening sem­i­nar.
    Even­tu­ally, over­come by his own charisma, the writer Paul Auster came in his dash­ing, Byronic Banana Repub­lic pants.
    The End.’

  5. Er, I would second that, were it not for the fact that the book is really rather good…
