Matthue-Roth-a-Go-Go
Amy Guth, organizer of the Pilcrow Literary Festival and Chicago writer at large, takes Matthue Roth for a ride in the sporadic guest-authoring interview on her blog. Among other things, they Kevin Baconify each other and she tests his knowledge of Smiths lyrics.
In other Matthue Roth news, Candy in Action is out, he has a new daughter Yalta (as do many Soft Skull authors and staff members it's been a fecund time...), he's chatted with Jewlicious, and Jeneration, and writing for Jewcy.com.
Oh and Candy got a kick-ass review in Foreword... When a YA novel's protagonist is compared favorable to Hermione Granger at the start, it's gonna be good:
The feminist call for good female role models has been wildly successful. Hermione Granger’s wit and grit shine brightly among wizards, while Candy Cohen sparkles in the realm of mere heroines with mortal skills.
