The Great Concert of the Night, by Jonathan Buckley

by Travis Holland

…ums are places of contemplation,” writes Jonathan Buckley in his marvelous new novel, The Great Concert of the Night (New York Review of Books), “they are places of poetry; they create constellations of images in the mind.” They can also be simultaneously chaotic and sublime, and for the lonely, both a salve for the soul and a torment. “A bit of a mess—but a nice mess,” as one visitor aptly describes the Sanderson-Perceval Museum in Buckley’s nove…

Kintsugi on the Page: Returning to a Writing Life

by Ellen Prentiss Campbell

…revailed, promising spare conditions for the prisoners and jobs. The brief newspaper accounts of the unwelcome prisoners’ arrival made passing reference to a few European women married to Japanese diplomats—and their mixed race children. How doubly, triply alien those particular families must have seemed to the rural area’s residents. The additionally complicated dilemma for these Japanese-European families among the detainees, the special poignan…

The Project is Nothing, The Process is Everything: an Interview with Judith Claire Mitchell

by Chloe Benjamin

…real life. I think it’s really difficult to write a funny book—but did it come naturally to you? The jokes come naturally. I never stopped and thought, Okay, I need a joke here. What will it be? The puns—they just pop into my head. Normally, whether in fiction or in real life, I try to ignore them, but this time I just stuffed every last one into the book. Go big or go home. I loved the puns. When your puns about Natan Frankl really kick into gea…

The Shared Shore: An Interview with Elizabeth Ames

by Natalie Bakopoulos

…hat process might be constructive or destructive, or, for most of us, some combination thereof. The line you quote about power comes from a moment where Lainey is making a distinction between the pain she causes—we all cause—as participants in/beneficiaries of capitalism (i.e., how many people experienced pain so you could eat this single chocolate bar?) versus the kind of pain caused by an individual wielding his power over someone directly, who…

A Great and Heartbroken Love for the World: A Conversation Between N. West Moss and David Ebenbach

by David Ebenbach

…me off my game. After an award that I won two years ago, I decided to stop entering contests for a while, and to try to find my center, where I could sustain my own sense of myself and my writings despite the vagaries of the publishing world or the opinions of readers. So I’m proud about my circumspection surrounding the publication of this, my first book. I’m excited about it, but I know it won’t change anything in my life. I look forward to read…

The Edges of Town: An Interview with Keith Lesmeister

by Barrett Bowlin

…the sound quality of each—upbeat, somber, humorous, longing, etc. Another example: I always knew “Today You’re Calling Me Lou” would be one of the first stories because it’s fast-paced, feisty, and gets things moving (or at least I hope that’s the case). And on a side note, I would like to include some of the others stories in another collection, perhaps down the road at some point. Keith Lesmeister The stories in WCBHH go far back as Winter 2014…

Cooking Stories: An Interview with Ellen Prentiss Campbell

by Susan Scarf Merrell

…gh. Well, in a way, that’s true for all of us as writers, too. Young women competing in cross-country races are often fastest when they are still more girl than woman—a sleeker, slimmer body, more aerodynamic. Well, perhaps it’s a bit like that in writing, too. Writing is a marathon for sure. And a brilliant young writer just seems to be an incredible blazing force. It’s thrilling and wonderful to think of all the years and miles the young writer…
