Rufi Cole, author of The Violin Face, writes about writing, which means writing about California, and E.M. Forster's sex drive, and the mystical fortunetelling music of wind on a freeway, and stripclubs in Tijuana. It means she writes about loving the wrong man, chasing her escaped cat through Groome, TX, country music, past lives, fishing, shopping addictions, divorce, holes in the basement that lead to other worlds, drugs and death. If Joan Didion were living in a Katherine Dunn novel edited by Denis Johnson, she would write blogs like this.
