Our comrade Greg Hoey has been quiet – and I can reveal why.
I applaud the PWF backing (probably) the most blacklisted author. I will get the e-book AND the $87.50 paperback, which was “voted peoples choice favorite book of 2012 perth writers festival! and tipped to be a contestant for this years booker prize.”
Much harder to comprehend was this hideous Shenton Park sight:
Written on the tape was: Drop stopped. If elect by repair. Hmm.
We in Guildford are glad this sun-blotting, 2.5m sign has been added to the street. It is tasetful and unobtrusive. Hideous.
It’s almost enough to make you forsake Rottnest for Bali.

amoung my stalkers of recent times it is the germans who in the last few months been trying to set me up with german girl and for me to go live in germany. why? because like others they regard me as highly valued political tool [risen jesus nonsense] and are about to become the dominant force throughout europe [3rd reich] and regard me as pivotal because of my essays throughout the ninties against political correct…ness and jewish elite cultural dominance. hence gillard govt’s recent about take on pulling out of afghan without informing the germans.’

Uh-oh: this on Friday:
it seems many have read my book ‘hideous’ and yet registered only one copy sold.
-ronnie miller, kevin lomas, peter may and others at lulu publishing i cannot help but feel are conspiring to allow my manuscripts to be freely plundered by readership.
and the pretext they seem to be using is by the deleting and editing of my very intelligent posts against the copying of other artists work, and thereby editing them to make it seem that i actually think the copying of writers work is basically a good thing.

it gets better. In the blurb for the epub version of his book, Greggo states that “This work has caused the response of numerous high profile and very reknown film-makers and authors of the like of david foster wallace.
Three times nominated for vogel literary prize, the victorian premiers prize and voted most popular author of the 2012 perth writers festival.”
interesting that his book was published this year, but Foster Wallace killed himself in 2008. I can find no evidence as to whether this occurred shortly after reading Greggie’s manuscript.
also, the Vogel Award is only open to author’s under 35 years old, which I suspect Greg is not.

Some people believe that Saul Bellow’s ‘Augie March’ has the finest opening sentence in twentieth century literature. Others think that James Crumley’s ‘Last Good Kiss’ is better.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the opening sentence of Greg Hoey’s ‘Hideous’:
“Downtown Darlinghurst 1995, a tall, lanky, gaunt young woman with closely cropped hair walks with another of the self-same gender though considerably shorter in stature than her mate and also with longer hair, upturned little nose, a ring through her lower lip, they walk hand in hand both of them radiating the confident all-knowing smiles of the triumphant, a smug sense of bemusement lay across their pleasing visages that was as assured as the sky above them was cloudless and free of space-junk.”

I think I’ve figured this out:

what aspects of the title? it’s only one word.
and then if you look at the flyer that says the book has ’caused the response of numerous famous film-makers and authors’ including ‘Hideous Kinky’. I see a pattern emerging.
so I reckon Hoey wrote to anyone who produced work with ‘hideous’ in the title, and in one of his delicious drool-spattered diatribes accused them of plagiarism and infringing his copyright. I’m sure they all wrote back and told him very politely that he couldn’t hold copyright on an adjective, but wishing him the best of luck with his unpublished manuscript. They may also have given him free stuff in lieu of the massive damages he laid claim to.

Adiamo was a conveniently new age kind of guy and he wasted no time in going down on her as a way of getting her hooked onto him. He would have happily choked to death except for the fact Nicole had the good sense to respect his need for air, so she edged his innocent little head now dripping with her moisture and female juices, by the ears and away from her fanny-may, to let him gasp for breath, before again ramming him back deep and head first into her swollen mound of Eros with crushing, ramrod, ballet taut, sweat-ridden and bestial thighs.
As she finally climaxed and gave way to a fit of thigh-hugging tremors and clutched with all her might his confiscated tucked-in head with its probing tongue, she letting out a long mournful moaning like some lone she-wolf on a full moon before she fell into a dreamlike reverie of thankfulness of how she had finally met her man, Adiamo Davies, sculptor.
She came bad! ‘Oooo! ohhh myyy Gyaad!’
Wail did her endless song, a song that spoke of tantalization and the exploration of all that was intimate in the great under-garden of her female sex, this long moan of hers was also a paean that spoke of greatfulness to the god Apollo, Lysander, and any other God who could deliver her safely back to earth after her long meandering voyage into the shimmering, starry sky’d cosmos on the outer edge of the known Galaxy.

‘Girls that make too much show of appearing hot are more than likely cold-fish or lesbians,’ he thought. ‘If only I could break her wilfulness and reign her in and teach her to respect my masculine power. there’s got to be a way of controlling her.’
His eyes blazed as from dreams of power over her, to see her down on her knees crushed in adoration.
Her eyes fluttered ever so subtly and almost begged him to ravage her and she started to wonder whether the body language she used on him was working. She was wrong, because David was in fact grinding at the bit. Blood coursed where it courses the most. He was a volcano of desire, a ravenous lion after tender young deer and had trouble restraining himself from the suggestion they retire on his sofa because of this naked bloody humility that was so intense for this time of season and especially being in the hard concrete jungle of the big bad city.
‘A while longer’ he thought to himself. ‘She’ll fall, even if it takes weeks. I’ll get the silly twerp yet’
He looked away from her toward some sublime and distant horizon, where the ethereal mattered, but not however without a sense of how deep down, just what a deeply sexually superficial person he could be in fact when he put his mind to it.
