Hiking! My favorites are Joshua Tree, Anza, Big Sur, Sequoia, King’s Canyon. I also
really enjoy rock climbing and playing my bass guitar – both of which I do pretty
poorly!
Don DeLillo – he writes novels like a poet and effortlessly blends popular culture
with high art. His depictions of city landscapes are incredible, especially in his
masterpiece, Underworld.
I’m currently writing about the Gothic “underground” depicted in Jeff Vandermeer’s
Southern Reach Trilogy. I am also working on a long-term project about the experience of time in literature.
