I had sworn off Stephen King, but bought Under the Dome anyway, kind of as a last chance thing. I'm probably about 1/10th of the way through, and it has been thoroughly enjoyable thus far. Lots o' grisly death, with a fair amount of humor thrown in.

I didn't know you were actually teaching, Reaper. I thought you were just in a MFA program. Or do they let a lot of them actually teach?

Teaching is how we earn our funding. At big state schools there are a lot of freshmen that need to take required Freshmen-level Composition classes. As far as teaching goes, 'Bama allows its MFAs to teach all sorts of classes during their time in the program. I will eventually be able to teach honors comp, intro to creative writing, more advanced creative writing classes, etc.

Are you still focused more on the travel/food writing? |

As for what I write: I'd say half of what I write about is about culture and foodways. The other half can be wide-ranging. The two pieces I'm working on now that are closest to being ready to send out for publication are about a specific wall & the way high school friends drift apart, and about addiction rehab programs in America. |

I'm also about to start a book called Kaufman & Co., which has plays George Kaufman wrote with Edna Ferber, Moss Hart, Ring Lardner, and Morrie Ryskind. It has a couple of musicals, though, which I'll skip. I don't really like reading musicals. I'm planning to start with June Moon because he wrote it with Ring Lardner, and Lardner's book "You Know Me Al" is a personal favorite of mine. |
