JE: My friend Bill Kenower of Author Magazine does an excellent series of interviews with touring writers in conjunction with Third Place Books in Seattle, one of the great indie bookstores anywhere. Andre Dubus III rolled through our town recently, and Bill has given us the go ahead to share part one of his interview with our readership. To view the second half, go to Author Magazine and click on interviews.

JE: Independent publicist Lauren Cerand, who we’ve mentioned before here at Three Guys for her ability to help generate and foster the ineffable buzz, is one of the coolest people I’ve met in the business. When LC is trumpeting a project, I listen. I follow her tweets. I like her style, her approach, and her enthusiasm for her work. And she’s got a great smile to boot, which is imperative in the world of publicity! This weekend, Lauren let me throw some questions at her for the benefit of the writers among us. Listen. Learn it.

Nick Laird is a wonderful writer. I reviewed this great book a while back…go here for the review. I’m pleased to present this interview.
Jason Rice: Before you wrote your first book, Utterly Monkey, you were well known for your poetry. What was the jump like from writing in that form to a large canvas like a novel?
Nick Laird: Well, the first two books only came out a few months apart in Britain and Ireland, but yes, the poetry came first. They’re very different beasts. The baggage restrictions are different, and I can’t really write them close together, in the same week or whatever.

Ron Carlson’s The Signal is on-sale on June 1st. I had a chance to talk to Ron about the book. RC is awesome:
Dennis Haritou: Ron, you have written a novel without a roof. Your characters are almost always outdoors. Why make that creative choice?
Ron Carlson: I never ever thought of it that way – no roof! And I didn’t think of it when I was writing as an artistic choice. I worked to keep the story simple and each scene led me to the next – even if the next was in the past – and most

Dennis Haritou: One of the things that I like about how our blog is developing is that we are forming connections with authors. The Three Guys discuss a book in depth, offering viewpoints that are often at cross-purposes with each other. Then we invite the artist to comment on his work and our discussion. Lately, we have also been asking writers if they want to give us a story to post or link to online.Unfortunately, our timing was off for Ron Curie’s first book, God is Dead; it having been published before The Three Guys really got started. This inferno of a work of fiction took up residence in my mind and refused to leave. I felt not so much that

Dennis Haritou: Jonathan generously took the time to answer some questions. The Three Guys seem to be developing a format where we do a close discussion of the text, an interview with the author, and post or link to a story with a brief review in an attempt to get a comprehensive snapshot of an artist’s work.
I have to say that Jonathan was a total blast. Someday the Three Guys will met him in person and tell him so. Jonathan put his responses in bold type so I left it that way.
DH: I was intrigued by your award-winning career in radio broadcasting and the passages in All About Lulu where William considers the magic of great public speech are among the

Over the years at Ain’t it Cool News I’ve had the great opportunity to talk to different writers about the process of writing and what it’s like to make something from nothing. A long time ago David Benioff and I connected through my column at AICN and he’s been kind enough to take a few minutes and answer some questions. His new novel, City of Thieves will be released by Viking in a week or so. It’s about the Siege of Leningrad, but more precisely a coming of age story set during the horrors of that historical event.
Jason Rice: I want

We thought it would be a good idea to talk to Mark Sarvas about his new book, and we’re grateful that he took a few minutes to answer our questions.
Dennis Haritou: Thanks Mark, for taking our questions. Aside from the title character, there are many memorable secondary characters that take the stage in Harry Revised. Some appear for only a chapter while others seem to haunt the book. Do you have a favorite?
Mark Sarvas: First, let me thank you for this invitation and for your wonderful consideration of my novel. I don’t know why you picked mine to launch your venture but I am grateful you did, and every debut novelist should have the experience of being read as thoughtfully as
