Willy Vlautin

One should never meet an artist whose work one admires; the artist is always so much less than the work.

-HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC

Last evening at WORD, a splendid little bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Deb and I attended a reading by Willy Vlautin, whose first two novels, The Motel Life and Northline, are two of the best books I've read in years

Vlautin's the real deal.

I was entranced by his presentation and I can't wait to read his work. It was a great experience, even with the crying babies!
