At the Swan River Press blog, a conversation with writer and editor John
Kenny about my latest short story collection, Lost Estates. Our
conversation touches on borderland and otherworld fiction, the art of
wandering, General Gordon, how history and legends intertwine, landscape mysteries, inn signs, wild topiary and much else. Thanks to John for his enjoyable
questions. John has also reviewed the book at his personal blog.

'Borderland' is a lovely term.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to having a proper read of this later.
And, in time, of the book too of course.
Yes, and I think it's interesting to find that's how such books were described in their time. Mark
DeleteMark, I was interested to read in the interview on the Swan River blog that you are presently working on an anthology of essays about Malcolm Lowry. I've read his great novel, UNDER THE VOLCANO, at least a half dozen times over the years and it remains one of my most favorite novels. I hope you will notify us when it is published.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Walker: yes, I am a great admirer of Lowry's work too. I'll be glad to notify readers when the book is announced. Mark
