Jonathan Ames has become the second in what might possibly be a long line of writers to put the beat down on Craig Davidson. I’m sorry, I know Davidson is getting weepy about this on his blog, and I can barely bare to tease him this time around, but you would think someone at Penguin, after talking him into this ridiculous idea, would have seen the press it generated and had the common sense to talk him back out of it. Here’s a set of pictures from the match. Davidson’s back gets some real good publicity in among the Ames photos. This is a no brainer, Penguin. Stop letting this guy hurt himself trying to prove he’s a man.

In all fairness, this wasn’t Penguin making history repeat itself. Clearly Soho in the US saw the (voluminous) press the fight in Toronto got last fall and thought it was a good idea…

Could someone explain WHY??? this is remotely worth discussing? These two should focus on writing better books!

I give Craig credit for doing this, actually. Getting his ass pummelled so more people hear about his books. Hey, it’s his ass. “Rust and Bone” was great, btw.
