Sugar Street
Jonathan DeeS. Kirk Walsh@davidulin @GraywolfPress Do you want to write it?! (I was thinking about it because I read THE UNFOLDING by AM Homes and SUGAR STREET by Jonathan Dee... and also working on a novel myself with a very unlikeable character.) Charles Baxter has a good essay about necessity of charisma in his latest book.

Bel Canto
Ann PatchettS. Kirk WalshLastly, I loved when Elizabeth talked about how a workshop (mistakenly) give absolutes: "Don't be melodramatic," Ann Patchett remembers from a workshop. "No authorial intrusion" was the rule Elizabeth recalled. Patchett went on to write BEL CANTO, which won many prizes.
