I AM FULL OF RAGE.
I'm reading an e-book on self-publishing, because I want to get serious about my own original work, and they linked to an awful youtube video in which a monkey at a zoo orally rapes a frog. I'M SURE THAT AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF MINUTES, IT'S DEAD. It's disgusting and squicked me so hard I wish I knew what I was getting into, because I THOUGHT THE LINK WAS A JOKE.
ANYWAY, I just now understood the connection when I read the title of the book. Be the Monkey - E-books and Self-publishing: A Dialog Between Authors Barry Eisler and Joe Konrath.
So, what? Am I supposed to believe that they're stating rather explicitly that it's better to be the monkey than the frog? It's better to be a rapist than the victim.
This makes me keysmash. I'm so pissed.
