Here he spoke to online editor Ted Hodgkinson about the fictions we construct about ourselves, the relationship between poetry and breakdown, the ‘elasticity’ of the novel and the generative properties of failure. Ben Lerner’s poem, ‘Dilation’ will also be appearing in the next issue of Granta, Medicine. The novel tells of Adam Gordon, an American poet on fellowship in Madrid who finds himself inventing alternate histories for himself and incurring the disapproval of his Spanish hosts. ![]() Ben Lerner has received numerous awards for his three collections of poetry – The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw, and Mean Free Path – and most recently has made his debut as a novelist, with Leaving the Atocha Station, to great acclaim. ![]() ![]() ![]() Real Life Romanceĭuring this period of writing scripts, Chase met a video producer who encouraged her to write novels. ![]() Chase then went on to moonlight as a scriptwriter for corporate videos. ![]() Chase will be the first to tell you that getting a job with a degree in English is not the easiest of tasks, and it’s because of this that her first professional job was writing for an exhibition catalogue.

I like to think of Orlean as some kind of agent, hired to work for our restless curiosity. Readers of her Orchid Thief (1998), Rin Tin Tin (2011) and her many New Yorker profiles know that Orlean can start with a Florida orchid man and deliver a book on botany and the Seminole Wars, or can start with a plaster dog on her grandfather’s desk and give us a book about World War I, early Hollywood, and dog breeders in Texas. The world didn’t end, or not yet the Los Angeles Public Library survived and we are lucky to have lived long enough for Susan Orlean to write a book that begins with that library fire but delivers a lot more. “The books burned,” Orlean writes, “while most of us were waiting to see if we were about to witness the end of the world.” A near apocalypse at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor drove the fire to the back pages of American newspapers. We didn’t hear much about the library fire. On April 29, 1986, a fire consumed or damaged more than a million books in the main branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. It’s a masterful tribute to libraries, and, even better, it has a plot and a storyline. ![]() The Library Book is a book for every reader and every writer. ![]() ![]() She cannot understand why her great-aunt was killed for these paintings. ![]() As a child, Jill had seen a mysterious cache of paintings hidden in the attic but was told never to go near them again.

I found the world building to be particularly interesting, with some fresh ideas and a macabre tint to everything, including talking bones, blood magic, the execution of witches, and so forth. This was a solidly written first book, where a good portion of the premise is set up, and a handful of diverse players are put on the stage.
