This was an excellent read. Thank you, Lincoln.

I'm intrigued with Hoke's process, and how he evoked the voice of his creature via short meditations. I'm trying to solve a similar predicament with my Dahmer novel -- although given a choice I'd rather be stranded in a mountain lion's brainpan.

On a side note: As you demonstrate here, I wish more Substackers would keep their posts concise and succinct. Too many authors are writing now, without editors (and their [the editor's] red pencil).

I just finished Open Throat last week and haven't been able to put it out of my mind. Great questions and conversation around such a spare, yet rich story. Definitely will be reading more by him.

This is an interesting insight into the author’s approach to writing and the process of getting published. Thanks so much for this interview.
