Shorties (An Interview with Erika T. Wurth, Perfume Genius Covered Radiohead, and more)
Erika T. Wurth discussed her new novel with Shondaland.
Writing horror allowed me to have these fun, supernatural elements and then access a sort of darker way of talking about things that I had accessed and talked about in my realism — with more permission to do it but with all the kind of fun, nerdy stuff on top of it.
Perfume Genius covered Radiohead's "4 Minute Warning."

I know that I have blind spots and I know that there are dark crevices of my consciousness, but it’s always surprising to see it on the page and be like, Oh, wow. I was totally coping here, or like, Oh, wow. I was totally just indulging the kind of ugly impulse, which happens.

Kirkus profiled author Percival Everett.
Everett’s facility with plotting, here and elsewhere, is one of his underrated traits. Nevertheless, he concedes, “I’m no good at making it up as I go along. But I think anybody who does any kind of exploring with a plot…well, a map is merely an excuse to get lost. And you can change your mind at any point, especially if there’s a river that pops up somewhere that wasn’t there before.”
