I'm Trying To Read More Dead People

I Am A Better Writer For Having Fewer Demons, And I Am More Curious About The World And The People In It. So Those Of You Thinking You Might Need Your Demons In Order To Be Creative: I Beg To Differ.

I Don't Know Exactly How Long The Book As We Know It Will Exist, But I Fully Expect To Make It To My Death Without Having To Give Up On Books.

But That Incessant Drive To Be Out There In The Literary Universe That Was Important To Me When I Was In My Twenties, Like Going To A Paris Review Party Or Whatever, That Seems Totally Irrelevant Now.

Genre Is A Bookstore Problem, Not A Literary Problem.

I Am Excited By... The New Novel By Samantha Hunt. She's A Writer I Really Admire A Lot.
