Reading my professor Jesse Hill Ford’s book THE RAIDER
I took a literature class from Jesse at the University of Rochester during my senior year and it really impacted my decision to become a writer. He was working on THE RAIDER while he was teaching us. Jesse is a lot like Faulkner or Flannery O’Connor. He’s one of the greats. Some of Jesse’s other books, and a book about him, lie on the table.
