Whew! That was a faster turnaround time than the first ep, all right.

Tonight I talked to San-Francisco-based, Chicago-bred Stephen Elliott, author of The Adderall Diaries (one of the absolute best things I’ve read this year), in a very noisy bar. The podcast also includes his reading from tonight’s event.

He’s giving a talk on memoir writing at 826CHI tomorrow (12/6) at 2 PM.

As the last light of the day fades away, a solitary figure braves the freezing fog. [Jan 1999, Chicago]
