Stories from the Pink House is a thorough, entertaining and insightful blog about literature written by a bookstore owner (and the bookstore is pink, yes) passionate about all things books. It’s on Substack, as much interesting writing is these days, though Substack is problematic for many reasons, none of which have to do with Stories from the Pink House (and almost all of them have to do with….Nazis, which the keepers of the website have no interest in curtailing and may even agree with but that’s another topic entirely).
I was asked, last fall, to complete a Q&A, which I did, thinking it would be published with the release of The Reeds. The Q&A came out almost a year later. This isn’t to complain, simply to demonstrate how long some things take to appear in the world.
It’s a good Q&A nonetheless and better yet it’s not long and neither are my answers (like most Q&As, this was conducted by email). Have a read here. Bonus points for the photo of my office, which looks worse than in it does in the photo (because it’s almost a year later…). Time heals. It also accumulates mess. It accretes.
