I realize that this blog is supposed to be for novelists, but because Jane Smiley, of course, is a talented one, I suppose it's okay to include a Los Angeles Times article about her stage meeting with Sean Penn. In conversation with Penn, Smiley noted diplomatically, "A sense of humor is much more idiosyncratic than a sense of tragedy. . . making the comic novel a brave undertaking."
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
