This month, Mr. Boardwalk by Louis Greenstein has been the selection of Vibrant Margins, a reader subscription service that specializes in fiction from small presses. Besides offering the paperback, the site has posted an essay by Louis and an interview by him. Both of these are fun reads. Click on the entries below to follow the links.
Essay, "Writing with My Fountain Pen": "I found that writing longhand slowed me down and encouraged me to think about what I was putting on the page."
Interview, "I feel like I'm working on myself": "I got turned on to [Fielding] Dawson and Charles Bukowski at the same time. I called Bukowski one time — I was nineteen and I was drunk, and I thought Hey, what could go wrong?"
