Once upon a time, Mr. Name Withheld became Crad Kilodney, King of the Ill. Kilodney created some of the strangest, sickest, and funniest literature. For 20 years, he stood on the streets of Toronto, hawking masterpieces like I Chewed Mrs. Ewing's Raw Guts, Blood Sucking Monkeys From North Tonawanda, and Putrid Scum. Before Kilodney disappeared from the streets, he influenced generations of writers with his do-it-yourself ethos and dozens of cult classic titles.Kilodney resurfaced a decade or so later with an obscene series of travelogues that would kick-start his resurrection. At the time, he had no idea he was about to embark on the most ambitious project o his life, rewriting the entire library of William Shakespeare's plays as Shakespeare for White Trash. Lorette C. Luzajic decided to ask him where he had gone, why he came back, and what possessed him to take on an opus of this magnitude. These meandeering, often personal reflections run the gamut from hilarious to heartbreaking, as Luzajic reflects on Kilodney and his work, Shakespeare and Chekhov, on creative passion, and the absurdity of life. It is also the story of what Luzajic learns from Kilodney on what it means to be a writer.
