“Something” to Say
An Interview With Gay Writer Eddie S. Pierce
Since the untimely passing of writer E. Lynn Harris, there has been a void in the gay, African-American literary community. The arrival of Chicago-based Eddie S. Pierce and his debut novel “Love: Something Infinite” (rainbowroompublishing.com) could change all that. The story of writer Seron, who returns to his Chicago birthplace from his home in Las Vegas, to see his family and come face to face with his dying ex-lover Calvin, provides insight into the specific struggles in the lives of African-American gay men, and one man in particular. I spoke with Eddie about his work in early 2012.
Telling Stories
An interview with gay writer Michael Alenyikov
Longtime San Francisco resident and winner of the Northern California Book Award for Fiction for Misha and Ivan (TriQuarterly Books/Northwestern), gay writer Michael Alenyikov knows how to tell a story. Whether in print or in an interview. Alenyikov is a natural born storyteller. That’s what makes Misha and Ivan, a fictional work of connected stories about the titular twin brothers such a compelling a recommended read. I spoke with Alenyikov about his work in early 2012.
‘Living’ Proof
An Interview with Gay Writer Robert Leleux
In The Living End (St. Martin’s Press, 2012), gay writer Robert Leleux’s second memoir, he brings the reader up close to the experience of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease and the toll it takes on family and friends. With loving care and respect, Leleux tells of his grandmother Joann’s illness, providing firsthand insight into the effect that Alzheimer’s not only has on her but those around her. To his credit, Leleux keeps a level head throughout and even succeeds in infusing the tale with much-needed doses of humor. I spoke with the author shortly before the publication of the book.
