\"\"Pioneering cult novelist. \u201cWhat a wild, original and outrageously funny writer she is.\u201d \u2014TimeOut<\/em><\/p>\n

Born in 1923, Jody Scott, or Joann Margaret Huguelet as it says on her birth certificate (Mr. Scott came later closely followed by Mr. Wood, two characters out of P.G. Wodehouse- if Wodehouse had happened to marry Jean Genet) was born in Chicago of an old-settler family of Fort Dearborn (as the toddlin\u2019 town was once called) with loose ties to the underworld.<\/p>\n

Ms. Scott attended Daniel Boone grammar school, Senn High, North Park College, Northwestern U. and U.C. Berkeley before crying out in clear, ringing tones: \u201cEnough of this crap. If you wanna be a writer never, NEVER go to college or you’ll come out a brainwashed zombie who offends nobody but writes like everyone else\u2014or as Monty Python used to say: \u2018Dull, dull, dull!\u2019 \u2014 the L\u2019s sounding like W\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our subject then worked as a sardine packer, orthopedist’s office assistant, Circle Magazine<\/em> editor (knew Henry Miller and Anais Nin), artist’s model at Art Institute Chicago, factory hand, cabbage puller (\u201cin Texas where I was arrested with my buddy Don Scott for hitchhiking and slapped around then thrown in jail for eight days; how stupid can \u2018The Law\u2019 be? Its reasoning was: my gay friend (close pal of Leonard Bernstein and Tennessee Williams) had long hair, therefore we must be criminals.\u201d).<\/p>\n

Also blue movie maker, headline writer for the Monterey Herald (\u201cthat’s where I got my spare, lean style\u201d), bookstore\/art gallery owner, vacation land salesman and spent six months in Guatemala (\u201cin Antigua enjoyed a night alone with Gore Vidal at his house both madly talking\u201d) and lived in Seattle in a falling-down house choked with ivy and blackberry brambles a stone\u2019s throw from Puget Sound, and was the winner of \u2018America’s Ugliest Couch\u2019 contest, upon which couch she wrote every day from 9 AM to 2 PM Pacific time.<\/p>\n

\u200bJody died in 2007.<\/p>\n
