Last updated October 24th, 1997 hosted by Need To Know Team Leyner: The Unofficial Mark Leyner Links Page Who? Mark Leyner is the most intense, and, in a certain sense, the most significant young prose writer in America. He is the author of I Smell Esther Williams, My Cousin My Gastroenterologist, Et Tu Babe, Tooth Imprints On A Corn Dog and, most recently, The Tetherballs Of Bougainville. As far as I can establish, Leyner is also some sort of cult figure in the US, where he appears on chat shows that we don't get in the UK, and writes for cool magazines that aren't widely available here either. It's kind of tricky to describe exactly how intense his writing is, at least without lapsing into some sort of lame parody of it, so I've put together this page of hopefully representative samples (and interviews). Like it says at the end of Et Tu Babe (don't worry, I'm not giving anything away here): "Help disseminate the incendiary words of this visionary warrior... Seed the Minds of the World with Team Leyner Thought!" What?

So thoroughly does Leyner master, and mock, public (and not so public) forms of speech, that you can only feel trepidation before entering into any attempt at evaluation for fear that the book will chew up and spit out whatever reasoning tries to contain it.

I found this strange little story while jumping around the internet. It's written by the award winning author Mark Leyner, (one of my favorites) and cracks me up! He portrays Jenny Jones as a High Concept intellectual show, HAHA! Mr. Leyner is in no way affiliated with T.A.J.J.C. and the story is reprinted here without permission. ALEX, THE POSTMODERNIST By MARK LEYNER HOBOKEN, N.J. JENNY JONES: Boy, we have a show for you today! - Recently, the University of Virginia philosopher Richard Rorty made the stunning declaration that nobody has "the foggiest idea" what postmodernism means. "It would be nice to get rid of it," he said. "It isn't exactly an idea; it's a word that pretends to stand for an idea." This shocking admission that there is no such thing as postmodernism has produced a firestorm of protest around the country. Thousands of authors, critics, and graduate students who'd considered themselves postmodernists are outraged at the betrayal. Today we have with us a writer a recovering postmodernist who believes that his literary career and personal life have been irreparably damaged by the theory, and who feels defrauded by the academics who promulgated it. He wishes to remain anonymous, so we'll call him "Alex." Alex, as an adolescent, before you began experimenting with postmodernism, you considered yourself what?

Et Tu, Babe Schwarzenegger Imagery in Mark Leyner's Et Tu, Babe Phillip Wise Dept of English Canterbury University Christchurch, New Zealand Deep South v.2. n.3. (Spring 1996) Fred Pfeil's book White Guys (1995) is just one of a number of recent academic books addressing representations of masculinity in popular culture. In it, he expresses concern that the way white masculinity is represented serves to reinforce and validate broadly traditional and patriarchal ideas about gender roles. He shows how deeply traditional assumptions about gender and race operate within popular texts, and convincingly demonstrates the need to address popular culture with powerful, sophisticated readings. Such discussions are not new - feminist scholars have long addressed the issue of gender and culture. However, concentrated explorations and resistant readings of the role of masculinity among postmodern power relations, in a feminist setting, have become popular more recently. I hope that what follows can be seen as a part of this movement. Mark Leyner is a New York writer who dives into this particular vortex with what seems to be irreverent disregard for the consequences. In his books he invents impossible figures: impossible because they grow from and exist among the ludicrous and contradictory expectations of hyperreal mediated cultures. In doing this he often gives the impression that his writing is as "popular" as the culture he surfs on. The truth is he remains very much a marginal figure. His first book

30. Books: Mark Leyner (The Boston Phoenix . 10-20-97) The Boston Phoenix mark leyner The Tetherballs of Bougainville THE TETHERBALLSOF BOUGAINVILLE, by mark leyner. Harmony Books, 240 pages, $21. http://weeklywire.com/ww/10-20-97/boston_books_2.html

Mark Leyner By Matthew DeBord THE TETHERBALLS OF BOUGAINVILLE, by Mark Leyner. Harmony Books, 240 pages, $21. Mark Leyner might be this era's most frustrating writer: at times a fevered logophile crossed with a blistering satirist, he often refuses to submit to the mundane rigors of narrative, instead succumbing to the lure of hilarity. That tendency prevents him from getting to a higher level, that of a Nabokov rewired for the millennium. After 1995's Tooth Imprints on a Corndog , Leyner's fans might have been justified in speculating that he was gearing up for the longer, more conventional novel that would distance our reigning literary prankster from the cult persona he established with I Smell Esther Williams (1983) and My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist (1990), then dismantled in his 1992 breakout, Et Tu, Babe Leyner's latest novel, unfortunately, isn't that book. Unlike Martin Amis, who shelved some of his trademark comic inventiveness in order to wrestle with the larger saga of exile and events in Money , or Bruce Wagner, a kindred spirit who hit the ground running with Force Majeure , Leyner now reads like a writer in a rut, and he probably knows it. But when Leyner sees trouble, he resorts to what has worked in the past. The result is his most scathing novel to date, a masterpiece of concentrated disgust and madcap ridicule that expresses more than a smidgen of what could be seen as midcareer bitterness over his position in the pantheon of contemporary writers.

A CONVERSATION WITH MARK LEYNER (Benjamin Bratton): You were just out in L.A. for some meetings about various TV and movie projects. How do you find L.A., as someone being schmoozed? MARK LEYNER : L.A. is always sort of amazing to me. When I go I make these business forays, and I get involved in all sorts of meetings and go to studios and have breakfast trysts in my hotel. It's fascinating, at the very least on an anthropological level. The TV and movie projects are pretty exciting. BB : Can you tell me about them? ML BB : Was the Menendez trial something that you kept close track of? ML : Not obsessively. I was aware of it. When I was in L.A., (not this trip, but the trip before) I watched a lot of it on Court TV, but I came up with a very funny way to manipulate it into something else. There is some talk about making a TV version of it. I also have a couple of other projects in the works, one's a sit-com, and the other is a movie treatment that I wrote about a family that has a terrarium of tiny people. BB : Is Mark Leyner a character in any of these projects?

An Interview with Mark Leyner By: Luke McGilvary Anti-Matter: What have you been up to since Et Tu Babe? Mark Leyner: Well, you know, there's touring that authors do now, it's like an album. And lots of work for magazines. I think my next book, actually, is going to be a lot of the pieces I'm doing for magazines. It's not all going to be published that quickly, it's really going to be like a book of essays. A-M: Any particular themes? ML: No...well, I think the theme that's running through it is the sorts of things that are happening to me. I tend to be a character in all my books, or the people I know, so somehow, in each of these essays that are about such disparate things as sperm banks and Keith Richards, the inauguration and weight lifting and Miss America, there seems to be threaded into it all, aspects of my life. I just had a daughter, for instance, who is about three months old , and it's about my girlfriend's pregnancy and so there's a lot of autobiographical information woven throughout all these essays that seemingly have nothing to do with each other. A-M: Any major style change? Because between My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist and Et Tu Babe there was a big style change.

35. Schrijven Onder Schot, Een Interview Met Mark Leyner Schrijven onder schot, een interview met mark leyner Arie Altena Kiki Coumans. I De naam van het hoofdpersonage mark leyner. Deze http://www.xs4all.nl/~ariealt/leyner.html

Schrijven onder schot, een interview met Mark Leyner I 'My whole life has been one long ultraviolent hyperkinetic nightmare, and I have the body of a grotesquely swollen steroid freak.' Met deze woorden beschrijft de hoofdpersoon uit Mark Leyners roman Et Tu, Babe (1992) zichzelf. De naam van het hoofdpersonage: Mark Leyner. Deze karakterisering geldt tevens als de kortste samenvatting van Leyners boeken: ze zijn compact, neurotisch en absurd. Mark Leyner, een generatiegenoot van Douglas Coupland en Brett Easton Ellis, is in Nederland zo goed als onbekend, maar werd in de Verenigde Staten een paar jaar geleden een cultschrijver met weirde boeken als My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist (1990) en Et Tu, Babe. Eind vorig jaar kwam zijn vijfde boek The Tetherballs of Bougainville uit. II Dit megalomane boek werd in zekere zin een self-fulfilling prophecy: na het verschijnen ging Leyner deel uitmaken van het mechanisme van celebrity making dat hij in het boek parodieert. Hij belandde op de cover van het New York Times Magazine (met naast zijn gewichtheffende ontblote bovenlichaam de tekst 'America's best-built comic novelist'), was te gast in de Lateshow van David Letterman en kreeg het aanbod een column te schrijven voor het blad Esquire. De verschillende stukken die hij in toen schreef werden gebundeld in Tooth Imprints on a Corn Dog, waarin onder andere een briljante update van Hawthorne's Amerikaanse klassieker Young Goodman Brown (die in Leyners versie niet verdwaalt in het boze bos vol geesten, maar in een gigantisch warenhuis met meer dan twintig verdiepingen onder de grond).

36. Mark Leyner's Quirky World - Kristina Curkovic mark leyner's Quirky World. by Kristina Curkovic. If you've neverencountered mark leyner's writing, you might suffer a little bit http://www.umich.edu/~mrev/archives/1997/10-8-97/leyner.htm

Mark Leyner's Quirky World by Kristina Curkovic If you've never encountered Mark Leyner's writing, you might suffer a little bit of a shock, perhaps encounter a bit of confusion, and certainly enjoy quite a few laughs during your reading. To put it one way, Leyner could honestly be called a very "unique" writer. If nothing else, the title of this and of his other books might give you a quick glimpse into Leyner's odd world: his previous works include I Smell Esther Williams and My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist. The Tetherballs of Bougainville is a variety act book, including autobiography, screenplay, and movie review, all in one very funny package. Set during some obscure, imagined period, it's the story of Mark, a precocious, well­read and horny little seventh grader who, to demonstrate his odd character, is, at the beginning of the novel, on the phone with his agent during his father's execution by lethal injection. Mark is just about the weirdest adolescent hero you'll ever encounter in literature. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn can't hold a candle to this kid; Ferris Beuller would fear him. Mark is a writer, philosopher, art lover and, above all, tetherball player. The beginning of the book sets the pace for the rest of Tetherballs: after surviving the execution, Mark's father is released from prison but finds that he's been sentenced to "New Jersey State Discretionary Execution," which means that he could be on a plane while "35,000 feet below, a New Jersey state trooper steps out of his car, aims a shoulder-held anti-aircraft missile launcher, and blows your 727 into friggin' curds and whey."

Excerpt from ET TU, BABE (by Mark Leyner) I had once intended to write an entire novel while having to urinate very badly. I wanted to see how that need affected the style and tempo of my work. I had found, for instance, that when I'm writing about a character who's in a Ph.D. program and I don't have to urinate badly, I'll have him do a regular three- or four-year program. But if I'm writing a novel and I have to urinate very badly, then I'll push the character through an accelerated Ph.D. program in perhaps only two years, maybe even a year.
