MICHAEL LOWENTHAL ("Avoidance," "The Same Embrace") has penned a new historical novel, "Charity Girl," which explores a little-known American atrocity: the internment of young girls with venereal diseases during World War I. Prince catches up with Michael in his swanky hotel room, and, despite the weight of the book’s subject matter, they manage to mock Susan Sontag fanatics, complain about Wikipedia, and speculate about the Amish. Prince also pays a visit to an all-girls school in Pasadena, California, in order to get in touch with his inner teenage girl and to make sweeping declarations like, "Asians love gambling!" And as if that's not enough, Prince also reports back on his strange outings at book readings, explains the daily necessity that is "The People's Court," and spins the soul-shaking music of MC FRONTALOT ("Goth Girls") and JACK ANTHONY ("Six Minutes").
