Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I had a recurring dream that we were dating. Nothing naughty, just really mundane stuff. We’d go shopping and be in love. It was nice.

Five books you would take to a deserted island:
I’m going with heft. If these books don’t last a lifetime, perhaps I could float away on them:
The Changing Light at Sandover, James Merrill
The Collected Poems of Frank O’Hara, Frank O’Hara
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology
Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
(and my secret sixth selection, tucked into my underwear: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood–because on a desert island, you need some light erotica)

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Maria, who knows more good books than I do
Woody Loverude, my man in Amsterdam
Eduardo C. Corral, my man in Inglewood
