small spiral notebook interviews….

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

i chat briefly with danielle trussoni, author of the fine memoir, falling from the earth. with so many tragically bad memoirs published, i was impressed by trussoni’s elegant prose in rendering her complex relationship with her father, who was a tunnel rat in vietnam.

leaving the house…again….

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

this weekend has been all about productivity and relaxation. i took a break from email the whole of the holiday (a v. difficult thing for me to do as friends know i’m a professed email junkie) to work on getting unblocked and getting some necessary down time. saturday, susan and i ventured to the green […]

the return of sophie…

Monday, May 29th, 2006

sophie couldn’t help herself (and seriously, why should she?) when susan and paige stopped by, regaling their adventures in coney island - a park and a boardwalk where i spent many summers. we talked of john holmes, ishiguro, samantha hunt’s the seas, and proper feng shui decor.
for the first time in years, i have […]

more quiet…

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

i’m temping for a bow-tie wearing millionaire who requests that i get him out of the bathroom should the phone ring. he doesn’t use email and prefers to butcher trees. he supports george bush and tells me i look very “oriental” today. he requires that the staples on all of his emails be placed at […]

great interviews…

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Alison Weaver interviews David Goodwillie (Seemed Like a Good Idea at The Time, Algonquin Books, June 7) for Small Spiral Notebook:
Setting is very important in a book, and my book is set in New York City in a cultural time that I find in a lot of ways shocking and difficult to live in without […]

weekend reading…

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

the doors will be padlocked and barricaded. after a maddening week of interviews, work, freelance assignments and playing catch-up, i took a little siesta from the very uplifting (so kidding) heroin flick, “the panic in needle park,” to rummage through the insane piles of books, magazines and literary magazines in effort to return to some […]

blocked…

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

when i’m blocked, frustrated, i throw myself into the kitchen. i whip up polenta drizzled with lemon basil pesto, pasta with a fresh tomato blend, braised chickens and sugar snap peas, and desserts, oh by the loads. better to be busy, better to produce than to sit in front of a blank screen, typing […]

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

i’m on page six of the first short story i’ve written in two years and i’m delirious. i will return when i’ve hit the ten page mark, singing the chariots of fire theme song. i have already screamed. my bf susan has already screamed as well.
this is a v. good week.

confessions of an editor…

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

inspired by the hysterically honest P&W piece by Peter Selgin, coeditor of the literary journal Alimentum…
1. Please approach me with an entourage and two hundred page manuscript in hand, and ask: might you read through the author’s sufi-inspired poetry collection, NOW, and choose which poems you’d like to publish? It’s much easier that way, you […]
