I saw Wally Lamb at Arts & Letters Live last night, and he was incredibly warm, kind and engaging. I know Joy Tipping is planning a post about his appearance, so I'll stay away from most of it. But one thing I thought was really cool was that there's a playlist (scroll down when you get to the link) of the songs he was listening to when he wrote his latest, The Hour I First Believed. Right away, I was wondering if he'd have any Conor Oberst on there, since Lamb mentioned his affinity for contemporary songwriters. Sure enough, there's "At the Bottom of Everything" from old Bright Eyes himself. It just makes me like him more. E-mail entry: |
