Episode 2: Richard Scott Larson

On episode 2 of the QT Nonfiction Pod, Richard Scott Larson and I discuss his memoir, The Long Hallway, as well as topics like braiding parallel narratives, attempting to write a novel and realizing it needs to be CNF, blending memoir and cultural critique of a single film for the entire length of a book, horror as a reenactment of the repressed, writing queer isolation and voyeurism, craft vs. content in memoir reception, extended metaphor, understanding representation in retrospect, writing an "interior" memoir, and more.

Writers/Books/Things to Check Out or Watch mentioned in this episode: Halloween (the film), Carol Clover, It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror, University of Wisconsin Press' "Living Out" Series, werewolf stories, Overcompensating, Friday the 13th.
