We’re still cranking away profitably at “CommComm” over behind the paywall. One thing I’m trying to do over there is respond to every single question in the Comments, which is rewarding but also time-consuming. So, apologies for this abbreviated Office Hours - and please join us over there if you feel so inclined.
For now, I just wanted to pass on this link to my Paris Review interview of a few years back, which was mentioned by one generous Commenter. This may have a paywall some distance in. This doesn’t - it’s a short essay by the same excellent writer, Benjamin Nugent, written after our interview was completed.
In other news, I’m working on a new story. Which is why there’s so little other news: just sitting home, writing, or waiting to get back to writing.
I hope everybody’s having a good week.
And if you’re thinking of joining in on the “CommComm” conversation, here’s the story itself. Sunday, I’ll be posting on Section 5 (pages 209 – 213).
Hi George. Thanks for all you do and your unfailing generosity of spirit. For the record, I didn't place your book at the bottom of the shelf on purpose. It was just the way the photo came out. Regards, Adrian... https://adrianconway.substack.com/p/books-like-white-elephants
I love that you are willing to help us understand writing and stories. It’s amazing to me the effort that you put in consistently and I so appreciate it. You are a master teacher. Those students at Syracuse must feel so blessed. I know I do.
