vindication
So David Means, author of the fine short story collection Assorted Fire Events, stumbled upon the post where I suggested that his title might have been ripped off from Ed Ruscha's book Various Small Fires, and he wrote in to tell me:
Actually, I didn't know about Ruscha's work when I read the title, but someone at my publisher pointed out the connection and showed me that book, which, actually, is amazing. After I wrote that story, I couldn't think of another title. (I like to imagine we were approaching the subject in the same way or something.)
You heard it here first. |
