Writing what Willie Lyonsan lived. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way, it breathes somewhere between footnotes and fallout.

Oscar isn’t here to sell you anything. He’s here to tell you a truth you didn’t know you were waiting for — dressed in grit, grief, and the kind of beauty that only shows up after a fire.

He vanishes often. Shows up when it matters. And if you catch him standing still, it’s only because the story's not done with you yet. And if this one leaves you asking questions, just wait. The next might answer one… or make you forget what you were trying to remember.

I want to simply say, Thank you.
Not in the cheap way authors thank readers.
In the way a ghost thanks the living for noticing the draft.

Wild by Cheryl Strayed

She didn’t conquer the trail — she let it break her, then walked out of the pieces. Grief made her lace up. Grace got her through. So good!

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Rate this book
Clear rating
Sharp as her piercings and colder than Swedish winter. Salander didn’t ask for redemption — she earned it in blood and code. A brutal ride, worth every bruise. Well, not every one. But maybe.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Rate this book
Clear rating
Time bends. War chews. And Vonnegut just shrugs and drops a bomb made of comedy and pain. So it goes. Still goes. Always will. Classic.
Oscar Slamp rated a book really liked it
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Rate this book
Clear rating
I’ve seen worse reasons to drink. This book is not about wealth. It’s about want. Gatsby threw a party for a ghost and built a castle out of heartbreak.

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Into the Wild

A cautionary tale wrapped in longing. McCandless wasn’t lost — he just refused to be found the way the world wanted. I get it. Too much. Excellent!

“Some people heal in hospitals. Some people heal in silence. Willie? He had to fall through a trapdoor in Tokyo just to hear his own heart again.”
Oscar Slamp, The Mostly True Tale of Getting Roofied in Tokyo and Waking Up Married in Rural Thailand

“He wasn’t lost. He just hadn’t been translated yet.”
Oscar Slamp, The Mostly True Tale of Getting Roofied in Tokyo and Waking Up Married in Rural Thailand

“Willie never argued to win—he wasn’t built that way. But when he did come at you, it was deliberate. Like a man who’d been sitting quiet too long, sharpening his truth on a whetstone made of your own blind spots.”
