What David R. Slavitt Knows
by Okla Elliott

and long-lived (”What amazes me is not the 100 books but the fact that
I am 76 and have nine grandchildren.”)

An Interview with
Thomas E. Kennedy
by Timmy Waldron
In which they discuss Kennedy’s latest book, Getting Lucky:
New and Selected Stories, 1982-2012

it’s nonfiction that we create.”
