  • Linking to the P&W Jofie Ferrari-Adler interviews

    Today we’re linking to one of my favorite sites ever: the Poets & Writers collection of Jofie Ferrari-Adler interviews.

    Have you ever read the Paris Review interviews? My friend Sasha Troyan (award-winning author of Angels in the Morning and The Forgotten Island) got me into those years ago. Wonderful stuff—interviews with all the great authors of the twentieth century you’ve ever heard of and all the ones you haven’t yet. I discovered Isak Denisen, Edna O’Brien, Ivy Compton-Burnett, and dozens of others through them.

    Now Poets & Writers is doing the same thing, only with the agents and acquisitions editors of the contemporary publishing world.

    Read these interviews. Then read them again. Then read them again. Enjoy them for the great conversations they are. Take notes. Follow advice. Look up the books and authors mentioned.

    This is the company you hope to join.

Bhaichand Patel is the author of two nonfiction books: Chasing the Good Life (Penguin Books India, October, 2006), and Happy Hours (Penguin Books India, October, 2009). I edited Patel's debut novel, When the Streets Were Cold and Dark.

I've edited a number of nonfiction essays for my friend Lucia Orth. (Many years ago, my contribution to Baby Jesus Pawn Shop was simply a peer critique and participation in a standing ovation.)

The poet Chris Ryan is the author of The Bible of Animal Feet (Farfalla Press, 2007). He has recent stories in Pank, Anemone Sidecar, and A Cappella Zoo. I edited Ryan's novel The Ishmael Blade and worked with him on his debut novel Heliophobia and WIP Pogue.
