At the con, I had the pleasure of meeting a newer writer, C.V. Hunt, and got a copy of her chapbook. The title of the chapbook alone is a brow raiser: BABY HATER. But the first clause is absolutely over the top: "The first time I punched a baby in the face..." Now THAT'S how you get a reader's attention fast! It's a great story, very Bizarro, with some potent subtext--a roaring success. Check it out!

I think the first line from Ryu Murakami's COIN LOCKER BABIES has that beat. I won't even replicate the line here because it might get me put on some government watchlist if I did but you can check it out by making use of amazon's "Look Inside" feature:

Wetbones: hadn't heard of it, but I'll have to get it since it appears to be written by the same author of Audition. By the way, I'll be at the Leipzig book fair next MArch. It that far from where you live in Austria. It would be great to meet you after all these years. If you can make it, ALL your beers are on me. Not just your first beer, but ALL of them!

Thanks for the advance notice regarding Leipzig! That's about a 1 hour flight from where I live in Austria and as such quite doable. I assume you'll be there as a guest of the FESTA EXTREM guys?
