Who are your writing influences? The masters, Cheever, Percy, Greer, Salter, McCarthy
Why did you write this book? I was told only novels sell
How is this book different from your past work? I'm a poet forced to write fiction
What was it like growing up? Pretty good. The worst preparation for a writer : )
