Mary Rickert in Locus

Tags: , ,

Locus January 2015 (#660) cover - click to view full sizeThere’s a fascinating interview with Mary Rickert in the current issue of Locus where she talks about trying to write novels over the years and what works and does not work for her, writing in general, and her mother’s death.

I love Mary’s writing (we recently published her collection You Have Never Been Here at Small Beer) and am fascinated that she says she does not always know everything about her stories. I think it’s the gaps in the stories that make them so fascinating (or scary) and lifelike to me.

You can read part of the interview on Locus’s site and the rest (and an interview with superstar Charlie Jane Anders) in Locus.
