Skeeter is also friends with several notable celebrities, including Michael Jordan, MC Lyte (whose life he apparently saved) Leroy 'Two-Tone' Jefferson, and Dennis Rodman.

“What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. Thats what their substance is.”

Still vague from accidents,
And characters in long coats
Deep in the litter-baskets
All dodging the toad work
By being stupid or weak.”
