Conversation: Rick Moody

On March 29, 2010 By Tobias Carroll

Rick Moody is a man of many talents. One of those talents, is putting out a fine album with his band The Wingdale Community Singers. Tobias Carroll asked him a few questions about that album.

Reviewed by Tobias Carroll

Nick Flynn’s first memoir bore a brutal title: Another Bullshit Night In Suck City. It earned it, unwinding the story of Flynn’s suicidal mother and transient father, the latter of whom would eventually cross paths with Flynn at a homeless shelter in Boston. Flynn told an oftentimes harrowing story with a poet’s precision, and made a deeply personal account resonate across progressively larger canvases. The struggles of one father and son subtly provided a context for struggles on an urban and, ultimately, national level. The Ticking [...]
