Who You Would Be at the End of the World: a Conversation with Dave Housley - The Rumpus
“his process of building and connecting stories together into a larger work… You can start off with one version that you send out to lit mags, and then you can design another version that connects to a larger world. You can resurrect characters in other stories, make references to events that happen elsewhere, and it's just cool for readers and to work on as a writer, too.”

Among these characters in the sixteen stories that make up Sedgwick County is Allison who, while on a search for her recently-deceased sister's runaway cat, unexpectedly finds herself in the presence of the woman she feels her former brother-in-law has unrightfully "replaced" her sister with. Bryan, a medical doctor, wonders if his volatile relationship with his alcoholic father is about to reach its breaking point. An Uber driver fantasizes about a better life when dropping off a man in an affluent neighborhood. Ben and Kristen attempt to mask an intimate, personal tragedy after friends unexpectedly pay them a visit. And in another story, an unnamed narrator contemplates his own mortality after spotting a doomsdayer's foreboding sign outside of a mechanic's shop while he waits on an oil change. The voices in Sedgwick County are an ensemble of gripping narratives that speak to the vast amount of swirling concerns present in the lives of everyday people.

Filling In the Missing Spaces: An Interview with Barrett Bowlin - Mud Season Review
Filling In the Missing Spaces: An Interview with Barrett Bowlin - Mud Season Review
As a fellow essayist, I’m always interested in learning about other writers’ processes. Where did the idea for this essay start, and how did you develop it from there? It’s taken me a long time to realize this, but I think I build my essays up from connections I see between images. For “Pugilism,” for […]
"Hell Is the Absence of God’s Love" - new story @ The Rumpus
"Hell Is the Absence of God’s Love" - new story @ The Rumpus
We watch the neighbors and the high schoolers as we sip cold gin at the window. There's the widow from the other side of the loop who chuckles while she takes an old Playgirl calendar and a paperback of Vixens in My Basement. There's Mr. Jens from down by the inlet, who takes two of the more hardcore Swedish mags with him as he leaves. The daily exodus of cars from the high school starts getting thick at 3:15, and we watch as two linemen in jerseys jump out of a freshly waxed Jeep and browse while they wait for the line of cars to move again. They take a selfie in front of the box and a Tom of Finland hardcover apiece.
