Summary
Jeffrey Ford's eight full length collection, Pandemonium Waltz, was published by Lethe Press back in February. Ever since we've been meaning to sit down with him to discuss the new book, his approach to short story writing, how he assembles short story collections, and more. We're delighted to have had the chance this week, to discuss the book, how retirement in rural Ohio is reflected in some of his recent fiction, and why some stories may not have shown up in any of his collections so far. As always, we hope you enjoy the discussion, and our thanks to Jeff for making the time to talk to us. Order Order Pandemonium Waltz from the publisher (with extra art!)
