What makes a graphomaniac? [0] From June 1996 through December of 2021, D-student, special-education student, high-school dropout and lifetime grocery clerk, sufferer of over 24 concussions as an adult, James LaFond has inex-plicably written 233 books, ranging from 44 to 700 pages, with the median around 300 pages each. With some 70 novels and short fiction antholo-gies, and an assortment of books on history and lit-erature, some 97 of the books are urban blight, combat arts and travel memoirs, amounting crook-edly to something of an unwieldy and patchy biog-raphy. In the summer of 2021 Wrath of Gnon, a twitter dignitary and supporter, requested that LaFond write an autobiography. The Crackpot groaned. Lacking the stomach to write anymore about his adult and adolescent past, LaFond has agreed to the compromise of recording his childhood memories, hopefully after a fashion that the reader will find pleasing and Master Gnon, who has declared LaFond to be a “singular” writer, will find worthwhile.
