Interviews with Leland Cheuk and Nino Cipri at Chicago Review of Books

I had the privilege of being able to interview Leland Cheuk and Nino Cipri at Chicago Review of Books recently, and both interviews ran last week. Leland is one of the great folks of indie literature, and his latest novel is one of the funniest (and affecting) books I’ve read this year. I found it to be truly excellent. Nino’s debut collection is one of the most memorable speculative reads I’ve been privileged to read in the past several months. It’s haunting and just really, really good. I am drawn to stories about home, so this one was right in my wheelhouse.

Both writers were kind, and I feel fortunate to have talked to both of them.

Here’s a link to each interview:
