I grew up in the desert I was raised by a pack of wild coyotes basically like
out in the Mojave Desert near Death Valley I spent the morning on MySpace
looking at pictures of my dead ex-boyfriend the phrase my dead
ex-boyfriend is syntactically ambiguous you can't tell from it whether this
boyfriend and I were together when he died. We were not. We've been broken up
for about two years we were together for three than apart for two then he died. He
died in a car crash that's how he died.
One thing that you write about in this story
– could we start with the story? – is the internet, which is I think for lot of writers
something we talk about as something very difficult to write about. How
did you go about tackling that in a way that felt honest?
Yeah I was really
interested in these like, ghost social media accounts for a long time, and
probably because I – I'm of the demographic that sometimes called the
Oregon Trail – have you heard of this theory? I kind of like it because it
means that I'm not a millennial, but maybe that's just – there's nothing more
millennial than denying that you're a millennial you know? Maybe there's a
micro-generation in between millennials and Gen Xers that kind of came of age
with technology, so knew analog life, learned to use a phone that was plugged
into a wall, and then, you know, got computers in school and so that – it's
named after this video game the Oregon Trail that many of us played on the old
Mac. One of the interesting things to me about that theory is that there's a
small generation of people who have one foot in the millennial camp and one foot
that they can kind of remember – they can still kind of, I think, see the uncanny?
Maybe actually you could, it would be quite helpful if you talked about the
title of your debut novel, which is Gold Fame Citrus right?
So gold fame citrus is – is one character in the book, his estimation of like the whole
identity of California and the American West writ large, like all of the
people of European descent who flocked out there you know during the
westward expansion and then ever after, he says you know we've come for gold,
fame, citrus. I mean the gold rush, or Hollywood, and then the book is really
about the citrus part, which is fruit and water and this like dreamy paradise, this
Eden, like America created a biblical arc for itself that was not actually there.
California was largely a desert, you know? It's a beautiful like wonderful place,
but the the place where Los Angeles now is, it is basically a desert and but you
know that's not a good story, to cross a continent and then realize
that there's not enough water to have your gleaming sea-to-shining sea
version. So we tricked ourselves, or lied or deluded ourselves to think that
actually like development, like the very thing that would actually degrade
the environment even more – development, irrigation, massive massive
infrastructures and farming on a tremendous scale – that would
actually be better for the environment and for our civilization. Why? Well
because we needed that to be kind of like the Eden.
Do you feel like an American novelist? We've been asking everyone.
It's an interesting – it's an interesting identity to tag on to a storyteller, because part of America is
like telling so many lies and like obscuring the truth and the big things
about being American, you know, the Great American Novel or the American dream,
they're just bullshit, and so where you're like well – but then what? If your job
is to tell the truth, you know even in fiction it is our job to tell the truth,
but you come from a place that so deeply buries the truth, it seems like a
really, you know, heady crazy intense time.
Thank you so much.
No problem, thank you.

2018 SUZUKI GSX-R125 ABS | sportbike GSX-R125 maxspeed 120 km/h - Duration: 10:01.
Suzuki GSX-R125, with the best power-to-weight ratio and acceleration in the 125cc class.
GSX-R125's DOHC engine is a perfect example of how to make a lot of power out of a very efficient and compact power plant
This power combines with strong torque and exceptional fuel economy
At 134kg ready to ride, the GSX-R125 is light and compact, giving ultimate control in the corners
Low weight is key, this helps deliver a bike with responsive and rewarding handling for added confidence on the street
GSX-R125 features a convenient key-less ignition system. This means the rider can start the engine without putting the key in the ignition
The ECM on the GSX-R125 runs the one-touch Suzuki Easy Start system.
"This is a bike that's perfect for the beginning rider who doesn't necessarily want to look like one; a stealth-trainer, if you like."
The overall length is a little more than an inch shorter than its mid-size sibling the GSX-R600
Clip-on bars pull the rider forward into the classic racing posture with jockey-mount footpegs that keep the feet clear even in knee-dragging turns.
Nose down and tail up, the R125 exudes the same race-tastic curb appeal as its big brothers
this here is a bike that's perfect for the beginning rider who doesn't necessarily want to look like one; a stealth-trainer, if you like.
The GSX-R125 brings the handling from its big brothers down to the entry-level price- and power-bracket.
the R125 sports the Bosch ABS 10 base unit that provides some traction security
Unless you're a drag racer or stoplight burner, most of the joy of riding comes from attacking the turns that give us that sensation of flight
the GSX-R125 brings the handling from its big brothers down to the entry-level price- and power-bracket.
Quick and agile makes for fun riding folks, even if the 120 kmph top speed makes interstate riding a little frenetic and worrisome.
Suzuki powered the R125 with an all-new, specially-designed engine. A water-cooled, four-stroke plant
it runs an oversquare layout with a 62 mm bore and 41.2 mm stroke for a total displacement of 124.4 cc.
Compression falls out in the warmish range at 11-to-1, so count on buying premium fuel.
A 32 mm throttle body and electronic fuel injection manage the induction with direct rider control and no fandangled traction control or rider modes
the R125 sports Suzuki's Easy-Start System that provides one-touch starts and a keyless ignition system
that allows you to start the bike with the key and fob in your pocket — security and convenience.
The 125 cranks out a total of 8.48 pound-feet at 8,000 rpm backed up by 14.8 horsepower at 10 grand.
While this doesn't look very impressive on paper, it's worth pointing out that at 295-pounds wet, those power figures give the R125 the best horsepower- and torque-to-weight ratios in the class.
Competitor: Honda falls behind a bit in the rolling chassis with the same vanilla suspension front and rear, but no ABS at all.
Like Suzuki, Honda built the CBR for handling and acceleration, so it enjoys the same sporty demeanor and exciting cornering ability.
Unlike Suzuki, Honda's ride is actually better suited for interstate work since it enjoys an 87 mph top speed that is surely less frantic at legal highway speeds than the 75-mphGixxer
To compound Suzuki's woes, Honda turns loose of the CBR125R for £3,799, a couple of bills less than the poorer-performing GSX-R125.
While the Honda will be better if you plan on using it for an interstate commute, Suzuki wins in the sportier riding category
Engine type: 4-stroke, 1-cylinder,liquid-cooled, DOHC, Bore × Stroke:62.0 mm × 41.2 mm (2.4 in × 1.6 in)
Displacement: 124.4 cm3 (7.6 cu.in)

Curb mass: 134 kg (295 lbs) Colors: Solid Black, Brilliant White (GP: Metallic Triton Blue)
The convenient Suzuki Easy Start System automatically starts the engine with one touch of the starter button mounted in the switch module on the right handlebar
there's no need to hold the button down until the engine fires. Thanks to the new system
the rider doesn't have to pull the clutch lever in to start the engine, as long as the transmission is in neutral.
To make the best use of every ounce of power from the GSX-R125's class leading engine,
the bikes sporty bodywork is also extremely aerodynamically efficient to reduce drag and maximise efficient speed
This design is the result of extensive wind tunnel development, and the sleek bodywork also enhances the GSX-R125's easy handling character.
Furthermore, it also has the smallest projected frontal area in the 125cc class
helping to achieve that best in class acceleration and supports high levels of fuel efficiency.
A TRUE SPORTBIKE
GSX-R125, the best power-to-weight ratio, torque-to-weight ratio and acceleration, plus nimble handling and great fuel economy in the 125cc class.
The Suzuki GSX-R line has defined sportbike performance for over 30 years, with more than a million sold worldwide.
So the dedicated Suzuki engineers who have devoted their lives to the GSX-R take their responsibilities very seriously.
There is a science to building high-performance engines and the GSX-R125's DOHC engine
is a perfect example of how to make a lot of power out of a very efficient and compact power plant.
This power combines with strong torque and exceptional fuel economy, to create an engine worthy of the GSX-R marque.
At 134kg ready to ride, the GSX-R125 is light and compact, giving ultimate control in the corners for a fun and sporty ride.

Furthermore, it also has the smallest projected frontal area in the 125cc class helping to achieve that best in class acceleration and supports high levels of fuel efficiency.
WHEN did Suzuki last make a properly sporty 125? The dinosaurs amongst us are going to start saying things like 'RG'.
But hopefully that's all changing this year, with the launch of the fully-faired GSX-R125 (pictured above) and naked GSX-S125, making 15hp from identical Euro4-compliant single-cylinder engines.
the clip-on bars allow an impressive steering angle, which means the bike should be relatively manoeuvrable around town.
'The GSX-R joins a host of other sporty 125s currently on the market, but stands out due to number of potentially class-leading factors.
At 134kg, it is 8kg lighter than its closest competitor – the Yamaha R125 – and at 785mm the seat height is also the lowest in its segment.
'Combined with the slim tank – could be a little wider – the GSX-R125 is extremely accessible to learner riders, who need the reassurance of feet flat on the ground
'Dressed up in MotoGP colours it certainly looks the part and costing from £3,999 (£4,099 in MotoGP colours)
it seems an extremely attractive prospect to both learner rider and people who just want to have a little low-capacity fun.
