Chris Bachelder Interview at The Rumpus

I interviewed Chris Bachelder about his terrific new novel, Abbott Awaits, for The Rumpus.

There are a handful of great Bachelder interviews on the web, but I think this is the only one where he discusses this new book at length. Bachelder is the opposite of the cagey "I have nothing to say about my art" writer–he's always game to talk craft and strategy.

If you haven't picked up the new book yet, here are a couple of great reviews: in Paste (by Sean Gandert) and in Necessary Fiction (by Steve Himmer).
