There’s no real news hook to this post—just a link to a cool new website from one of our favorite NW authors. If you’re a Sherman Alexie fan, you’ll want to go here to learn what Alexie is reading (Wendy Videlock, Lydia Davis, Zachary Schomburg) and thinking (about gay marriage in New York, his forthcoming book and about being on the bestseller list for 99 weeks—in short, blog-style posts) and listening to (Destroyer, The Mountain Goats) and how he responded to the recent ban of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian in Richland, WA (with humor and a song). There are 11 questions—and, not surprisingly, not the usual sorts of questions— from Jess Walter, another NW favorite, and a very funny Q-and-A. And there’s a nice prominent plug for indies and “your local free range bookseller.” Would it be too much to ask other authors for this kind of treatment?
