Couples' therapy ought to be the last thing people who can't communicate effectively with their partners resort to before a divorce, not a weird dinner and movie alternative for a pair of whiners. Did they just do this to generate material for his column?
So I really think George Gurley is hilarious. His humor reminds me of early Waugh or Anthony Powell. I hope he's working on a novel- he could easily write a Vile Bodies or Afternoon Men.
George Gurley- now there's a name to invoke many an elementary school ass-whipping. It gets much worse- George Gurley and Hilly? I'm getting a WASP sugar headache here.
Next time you climb into bed with Hilly, just remember this:
You are a naval-gazing, weak, Beatrice Inn-dwelling, lame-ass abuser of the sacred monologue form who could not satisfy a woman if you grew a cock on your weak chin.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: though the relationship therapy columns specifically bring out George's callower side--they're painfully self indulgent to the point of numbing parody, and he being a sly fellow, that's probably his devilish intention--George is a elegiacally whimsical, keenly observant, often surprising, nonchalantly profound writer with ample flamboyance, panache, irrepressibility, raffishness, and a not so hidden reservoir of sweetness, just like the guy himself, as his voice is authentic, unrepentant, and unadulterated. this may not resonate with the stultifyingly cynical among you. your loss.
@BookishLookish: I admit that I read his stuff (I read everything in the NYO unless it is about dance, ballet, opera, or sports) and I always end up amazed that someone has such a cushy gig. He can write about ANYTHING and NYO will pay him. How did this happen? The legal notices are more interesting.
We'll see if this goes anywhere. Ponying up some development money for a script is far from a green light for a series.
