Thom Dunn is a Boston-based writer, musician, and utterly terrible dancer. He is the singer/guitarist for the indie rock/power-pop the Roland High Life, as well as a staff writer for the New York Times’ Wirecutter and a regular contributor at BoingBoing.net. Thom enjoys Oxford commas, metaphysics, and romantic clichés (especially when they involve whiskey), and he firmly believes that Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" is the single greatest atrocity committed against mankind. He is a graduate of Clarion Writer's Workshop at UCSD ('13) & Emerson College ('08).

Molesting a Metaphor

Just a quick update -- it's been a rather intense weekend for everyone. But here's my newest post on Five By Five Hundred, a quick little wordplay piece of prose that attempts to go too far on the idea of "molesting a metaphor" (based on a recent LitReactor.com article on how NOT to use a metaphor). I don't know, it just sounded fun. Enjoy!
