The beautiful Paul Auster. RIP dear sir.

I just finished reading this book about 30 minutes ago and I think it deserves very widespread recognition. It could split off into many stories but gives kind of a whistlestop of very intense life events. Highly recommended.

Been reading 📚 this one at th3 library. Pretty good book 📖

Hello both, and thank you. I've just written a multi-faceted piece about lichen, as I do, for the first time, and wondered if anyone had written any poetry about it... Via a feed on a British poetry website, I found Forrest's name, and a short quote, which fascinated me. So after a little bit more digging, I found this interview/reading. How amazing, and how is it that this only seems to have been viewed 31 times so far? I've included a link this KZbin now, which I hope you're happy with, and again, thank you Forrest for your poems, and your emotionally charged reading of them, as well as some of the insights into lichen, the natural world and life, which underpin your writing. Thank you too to Jane for hosting this so well, and for the thoughtful questions and responses. I learned so much from this, and will get on and buy Forrest's books, to delve a little deeper, Best wishes from Wales, Julian.

wonderful conversation, admirable process, writing, honesty!

Marvelous!!!

This is wonderful. Thank you Litquake! What you do is very deeply appreciated.

2 years later, Ektachrome is now $58 on B&H... oof. Rough time to love Super 8.

The name is a subtle joke

I just ordered a copy. I can't wait to read this comprehensive work on Crane. This is monumental! I would love to hear the author's thoughts on Ambrose Bierce as well.

If you leave San Francisco. You will be sad.

Stand up and be counted, show the world that you're a man...

Muller is a great film noir author. Auster is a great writer. Crane was a magnificent poet. It's all good.

What a responsive, beautiful trio: Shelby, Clark & Claiborne!

Wonderful interview.

The start of The Five White Mice: Freddie was mixing a cocktail. His hand with the long spoon was whirling swiftly, and the ice in the glass hummed and rattled like a cheap watch. Over by the window, a gambler, a millionaire, a railway conductor, and the agent of a vast American syndicate were playing seven-up. Freddie surveyed them with the ironical glance of a man who is mixing a cocktail.

Something new and terrific from the Czar. Auster is really impressive.

Great to see Paul Auster talk about his new book. One of my favorite writers for sure.

Two great writers. Thank you for this program.

John Waters didn't call them acid....but drug-crazed, hippie transvestites.

What's with these middle aged COMMUNISTS

Thank you sharing this! Such a great talk. Would love to read a Kevin Kwan autobiography.

Really enjoyable discussion.THANKS TO ALL!

Hi Jane!

Wow this was a wonderful interview. So insightful. Currently listening to the audiobook...haven't found it to buy in Trinidad as yet.

Well done, I just got the book and I am already blown away with your writing.

It is criminal how underappreciated this woman is, despite her getting pretty great recognition as far as modern literary fiction goes. But this book, and the truly unique prose and structure she employs, is absolutely visionary. I never thought I'd read something by a modern author that could capture the raw horror and tension and command of prose that I found only in Cormac McCarthy's novels and some of Faulkner's. She is a master in the full sense of the word. If there is any justice left in the art industry, she will be recognized as a new great, a living master whose work will last. I've honestly never read anything quite so alive, so infectious, both beautiful and demonic, evil and cathartic. It's like Faulker meets Ari Aster meets a latina perspective that makes her wholly unique and unequaled

Yay Luna

Niceeeeee and Refreshing #Ehalakasa #WOWA

This was one of the BEST pieces -- the reading of Poe's Raven... WOW! INCREDIBLE and such a beautiful and artful recreation. Be safe my friends! Thank you for this! <3 Jessica M. Wilson and the Los Angeles Poet Society family!!! Los Angeles, California

Yup, I'm going.

We love this! Excerpts of various poems by Lawrence Ferlinghetti read by some of the best artists and writers in the Bay Area.

WTF! Andre Bella is NOT a Clarion Alley consultant ... Amanda Coggin is NOT a Clarion Alley Founder ... it's super disrespectful to those of us in the community who have put years ... decades into maintaining and organizing the Alley and to see folks who show up for a day to do Litquake to be listed as consultants and founders when we haven't even heard of them ...
