Tell-All is apparently a reimagining of the life of Lillian Helman...

So it'll be like the secret life of Lilian Helmann, written in the form of her personal diary? And she's a child terrorist (I haven't read Pigmy, but I assume that since there's whack-bang, Lilian's a child terrorist or something) Or does she start an anti-McCarthyism version of project mayhem?

It sounds like you've mixed up Tell All with Pygmy. All he said about Tell All was that it is about Lillian Halmann, who was a liberal playwrite.

i dont know if Tell All is actually about Lillian Halmann of if chuck was just using her memior as an example of what the book would be about. chuck has never written a book with a real person as his main character....

You know, theres maybe 4 or 5 people Ive met in my life whom I enjoy actually listening to. Not listening, but listening to. These are people that when you're around, the answers of the universe are all in your face. You seem to know it all. You're on an unmatched high, save for an enlightening shrooming on top a beautiful mountain, and you feel like "man, I get it now". The easiest way to say it is that shit just makes sense. And I've only been around 4 or 5 people like that, Chuck is one of them. He has that uncanny ability to, in so few words (or possibly so many), to show you something that you have completely overlooked.

....or maybe I'm just high right now

Thank you for the link! That's a great interview and sample for people that don't get to see him on tour this time around.

Around 10 minutes in, Chuck explains why the tour is so short. It's very sad, but he was taking care of his ailing mother all year and she died this past Spring so he's too worn out to tour much.
