Ben Loory will be reading at Difficult to Name on Friday, September 20 at Stories in Echo Park
What have you worked on in 2019 so far that you’re excited about?
I have a story I love called "Joan of Arc" coming out in Adroit in October, and another one called "The Magic Mountain" coming out in A Public Space… don't ask me when though because I have no idea.
Is there an album, tv show, book or movie that you’ve been into recently?
Somehow I discovered this guy Billy Strings, who's a non-traditional bluegrass guitar player from Michigan, and he's amazing and pretty much all I listen to now. He's actually playing in Highland Park next month but it's sold out because I'm the last person on the planet to learn about him. So if anybody can get me a ticket to that, that'd be great! I'd even buy you pizza. Thanks!
What can people expect from your reading?
Life-changing magic.
