The “King of Household Design”

Rosser Clark has a rather amusing piece up in literary journal McSweeney’s called “I am the King of Household Design:”

You have come to me for a design. But you do not fully grasp my narrative context, my postmodern niche, my dinette oeuvre. Let me enlighten you. Superficially, I am a designer of home furnishings. But in the klieg-lit world of my imagination I rule a land where creative SWAT teams smash the doors of timid “usefulness,” forcing its wretched occupants face-first onto their disgusting utilitarian floors. Yes, I dominate design. I conquer it. I capture it with my lasso and keep it in a corral of my own elaborate and inherently faulty construction. I am the king of design–a cowboy king, if you will.
