Interviews in The Believer and Volume 1 Brooklyn

Thanks so much Shya Scanlon for talking to me about NINE MONTHS. Shya is one of my favorite writers (click her to learn more about his novel FORECAST) and favorite people, too. So this interview was especially fun for me. Unfortunately, I discuss The Human Stain by Philip Roth prior to his excellent open letter to Wikipedia that was published in The New Yorker where he expertly explains the origins of that novel and how Wiki (and many critics, and myself) got it all wrong. I stand corrected, Phil.

Also, Tobias Carroll asked me some great questions at Volume 1 Brooklyn, a favorite literary website of mine. Interestingly, I contradict myself a bit in these two reviews regarding Philip Roth and Nathan Zuckerman. The more I discuss NINE MONTHS the more I realize I still haven't completely clarified all of my feelings about the novel. And that's OK. I'll get there.

Reading in Portland Friday the 26th! Which is Tomorrow!

Thank you Kevin Sampsell for having me. It's called "Booty Call" it's at the Blue Monk and if you click here hopefully you'll get more info (not sure I have the link right- working on it.)

Also, I have a novella called Inside Madeline out in The Literary Review. You can order it here from their website. It's going to be part of my next book with Soho Press. Thanks so much to Minna Proctor and -as always, Mark Doten- for being so supportive.
