Shorties (Delia Cai Interviewed, An Interview with Tyler Bates, and more)
Delia Cai shared a list of books about coming of age as an Asian American at Electric Literature.
Cai discussed her new novel Central Places with Shondaland.
The Creative Independent interviewed composer Tyler Bates.
We can all go to school and study the works of John Williams and others who are amazing, but we’re really looking backward when we do that. When a person’s looking forward, they’re just taking on challenges, trying to figure out how to achieve something that they’ve never done before.
Justin Taylor profiled singer-songwriter Margo Cilker at the Oxford American.
I think she’s a rare generational talent, heir to an expansive tradition that encompasses not only the California-country of Merle Haggard, Gillian Welch, and Gram Parsons, but also the crossover country-rock of Neko Case, Katie Crutchfield, Amanda Shires, and Lucinda Williams. Her work doesn’t really “answer” the question of what country is or can be or should be; it obviates that question, because country has more to gain by making a claim on her than she does by making a claim on it.
