 .My health has been deteriorating over the past 2 years to the point I need help with everything now. Bathing, dressing , cooking, toilet, all. I need a walker to get around, and have fallen many times. The latest fall I broke my hip. I need help.

Support My Recovery and Daily Care Needs

This is very difficult to write. COVID-19 is hitting so many of us. Some in ways that will change us forever.. For some in harder hit countries like Ecuador life will never be the same, and this is the reason why I’m doing this. We have already lost friends and family and some of those that are still with us are on respirators from which only 20-30% survive. Besides taking all of the proper precautions, people are getting sick and dying very quickly. A 43 year old can die in 3 days, while an 83 year old can survive this monster. We have family in Ecuador that are very sick, their lung capacity is at 50%.  Ecuador being a third world country, their health care system is not optimal on a good day and with the pandemic it’s unimaginable – think Elmhurst hospital in NY 100 times worse. Medicines have to be ordered, public hospitals are not admitting people and the private clinics are so beyond people’s means that some just go back home as they cannot afford to pay for one day of treatment, and pray they’ll make it another day.  We are helping our family but the costs right now are very high. So if you can spare anything, it would be greatly appreciated. You will literally be saving lives. Hold your loved ones tighter than ever, and thanks. You've always been there for me.

Only meaner." - Jim Reeber I've been working on Promises to Rockaway my whole life. The book collects selected essays and articles on the things I love most, typically when those things are beleaguered by the things I hate most.
My articles have appeared from The New York Daily News to the Los Angeles Times. The only thing they have in common is my viewpoint. As my friend Harlan Ellison once noted, the chief commodity a writer has to sell is his courage. And if he has none, he is more than a coward. He is a sell-out and a fink and a heretic, because writing is a holy chore. Uncensored stories take you behind the scenes in comics, martial arts, and other dark corners; a series of essays about school bullying that literally had a New Jersey institution begging me to turn my attention elsewhere; recollections of the 1978 Nazi march in Skokie; a tattering of hybrid fiction; and no Meth book would be complete without cameos from celebrated entertainment and rockstar pals. Or a fistfight. There’s no art this time, just words. Every now and then it’s important to stand naked, if only to see how much weight you’ve gained. I’m not asking for the order now, but I *am* asking you to reserve a book with just $3 down. That reservation helps determine the print run. You’ll be invoiced when the book is complete and if you change your mind—because $3 might be needed for a Big Mac or something—you’ll get a full refund. But if you stick, you’ll get a signed/numbered book for the same price as the trade paperback ($12.95). Don’t forget to include your mailing address. And thanks in advance for supporting this.

The only difference is that he is also a bit of a pit bull and he isn’t afraid to drop his lance and just tear ‘em a new one from time to time."  Amazon.com "Meth is a dangerous writer. He doesn’t seem to care if you like him." Neal Adams "I love Clifford. He's a mensch. "  Harlan Ellison

A New Collection by Clifford Meth

I’ve recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer.  That’s the awful, terrible news.  I received the diagnosis right around my 50th birthday, and it was like a tremendous punch to the gut that no one in my family was prepared for.  The good news, however, is that we caught the cancer early, so we can treat it. After researching and considering the many treatment options, I’ve elected to have surgery.  The surgery date has been set for Thursday, November 12 (another bit of good news: it’s NOT scheduled for Friday the 13th!), and I’m confident that I’m in the care of an experienced and skilled doctor who assures me that this cancer will be little more than a “speed bump” in my life. My recovery period for the surgery will be 2-3 weeks, and the issue that has caused Taiko and me perhaps the most anxiety (aside from the fact that I have cancer, of course) is that since we do not have any employees, we will have to temporarily close our business, <a href="http://sakenomi.us/" target="_blank">Saké Nomi</a> , during my convalescence. This is where I have most struggled coming to terms with everything that’s going on.  I wish with all my heart that business at Saké Nomi these past eight and a half years had been so robust that we could simply close up shop without a second thought and deal with my medical situation.  However, the reality is that while we are closed and there is no commerce being conducted, there are still bills that need to be paid to address my quickly mounting medical expenses and to keep Saké Nomi afloat.  Perhaps it’s pride, and maybe it’s a bit of Japan-related “reserve” on our part, but we have had difficulty privately or publicly asking for help. So, while Taiko and I are confident we will get through this challenging set of circumstances, we certainly will appreciate any kind of assistance or support you care to extend to our family during this time.
