In the new issue of the online magazine Gigantic, the two gentlemen of letters talk about literary things:

GH: if you cloned yourself would you let/make a clone sleep with your wife? explain.

JW: I would make him sleep with my wife, I think, in many cases. It would free me up, give me more time for prayer. I would sometimes attack him for having slept with my wife—give him a vicious beating. Everyone wins with cloning. Mainly I would use him for things like wiffle ball. I have always wanted to play wiffle ball with myself. I have always wanted to know what it was like to face me, the pitcher, and to face me, the hitter, and some people have given me a fair approximation… BUT TO KNOW PRECISELY WHAT IT'S LIKE! That would be something . . .
