Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon, makes the case.
“But McCarthy will also pull back. He’ll allow some violence to take place off stage, because he knows unseen acts can be as brutal and affecting as violence that’s shown—perhaps more so.”
“Massive the burden this flesh / Must learn to bear / like mules of love”
— Ellen Bass, from Mules of Love

“Almost anything can be turned around: out of every ditch, a path, if you can only see it.”
Coming Soon to My Nightstand
Books I’m getting excited about reading:
Red Moon by Ben Percy. (Werewolves, werewolves, werewolves).
This Close: Stories by Jessica Francis Kane. (Probably less werewolves).
Great Q&A about the success of Jess Walter’s Beautiful Ruins, which recently hit number 1 on the New York Times bestseller’s list.
Fear not, semicolon wanna-users!

“Forgiveness is an altogether different thing. It can’t be patterned, as a group of boys can become a calculus for what will go ungrieved, the shoulders slumping in the seats of a chartered plane, the empty seats between them, how if God had looked on us during that flight back home we might have seemed like fabric ready to be thrown, in the surrendered blankness of our sleep, over the furniture of a thousand empty houses.”
— From The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers
Here’s an early look at the new project I’m working on.
Stay tuned for details…
