I interviewed Andrew Zornoza, author of the incredible Where I Stay from Tarpaulin Sky, about the book, influences, sentences, Chris Farley, photography, etc., for Bookslut. “I’m interested in new feelings that haven’t been mythologized yet, I’m trying to get as high and bent as possible. I can over-intellectualize after the fact, but in the moment, when I’m sitting in front of that computer, all that is far away, everything is far away…”

      This book worth your time, folks. As a lover of flash, I was wowed to see flash and images incorporated in this way. I also like book with odd shapes. This one is looong horizontally, not narrow.

      “landscape” vs “portrait”
      “…looong horizontally, not narrow.” I like that.

      Blake, thanks for writing this. It was fun to edit. Because I didn’t have to edit anything. That is my favorite kind of article.

      Our February and March issues are going to have interviews I think y’all will dig, too. Also: hardcore pornography! Pending Jessa’s approval. Which I will probably not get.
