Tk With James Scott

In order to learn to write, Frank Bill broke down the fiction that he loved. The lessons those books taught him have served him through a collection of short stories and two novels, the latest of which is THE SAVAGE. He and James talk about universe building, skipping the middle, and the film adaptation of DONNYBROOK. Plus, Jesse Donaldson on his tour of Kentucky for ON HOMESICKNESS.  -  Frank Bill: http://frankbillshouseofgrit.blogspot.com/ Frank and James discuss: BLOOD MERIDIAN by Cormac McCarthy  DETROIT: AN AMERICAN AUTOPSY by Charlie LeDuff  BEAT TO A PULP  THE MISSOURI REVIEW   "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin  Jason Starr  THE KILLER INSIDE ME by Jim Thompson  FIGHT CLUB by Chuck Palahniuk  Fyodor Dostoevsky  FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS by Ernest Hemingway  THE ECSTATIC by Victor LaValle  JOE by Larry Brown  FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS by Hunter S.
