I hope to read The Sleepers. "A nineteenth century novel about the twenty-tens" sounds good. Copy ordered.
Funny to be older than you two, and to have spent the entire decade you talk about with my head down, working, with children at home. The then-contemporary culture was, in effect, nonexistent for me. I had most of the type of experiences you mention long before.
I am copy editing my draft novel tonight. I’m about 60% done. These things take enormous amount of work. I have great respect for anyone who can even finish one.
I read half of “A Disaffection” by Kelman two years ago, but just could never be bothered to pick it back up. Did I pick the wrong book, or did I just read it the wrong time?
Great conversation. Talking literature while doing psycho geography might be the most pretentious thing I’ve ever heard. Lmao
I had the library I work at order his book which just arrived so this is a nice primer.
And yea a lot of the music diy spots in bushwick started to go under around 2013. Silent Barn, Palisades, Fitness, etc. It was sad to see.
Very interesting convo!
Enjoyable interview.

I would say How late it was, How late and The Busconducter Hines are well worth the effort
