Isn't Gojira Cute???????? And Don't We Just Love Him???????????????
In 1991, a writer named Mark Jacobson published a novel entitled "Gojiro." Not "Gojira," but "Gojiro." There is no question whom this book is about, but I bet Toho copyright laws necessitated the changing of the last vowel.
I had been looking forward to this, expecting a cute take on the Hollywood memoir by its biggest star. Instead, it has been compared to Voltaire and "Beowulf," and the opening chapters are so hard, I had to be reminded by Gojira that it IS just a story. Because we all know how lovable he is, and don't want him sad. In the opening chapter, Gojira is found, contemplating suicide.
As if such a thing were possible.
So, I hope this book gets upbeat. It does, supposedly, have a happy ending, and I will share it all with you, when I am done. I am only on page 33, so I have another 323 to go.
Gojira is one of the most beloved creatures out there. In the book he calls himself a "Cosmozard," which is a cosmopolitan lizard. Which is why he loves the night life, his fans, and children, in general.
You are loved, Gojira! And Baby Gojira! You both are the best!!!!!!!!!!!
