I am an American playwright, writing in French for 20 + years plays in French that have been performed here and abroad and published. Long long ago I was in contact with Bruce Benderson when he put a play of mine into a play bank he then ran in New YOrk. I would like to contact him again somehow.

I agree that this interview was entertaining, thought-provoking -- it made me want to have the opportunity to meet the author himself. In the meantime, again, I will be sure to read his memoir. My time in Paris over the past four years has really opened my eyes much more to the literary world, and I am extremely grateful for that! I will be sure to return to your site to read more.

It's hard for me to express it, because normally, the drill is that you give an interview and then fly away to the next experience. You certainly don't want to give the impression that you're hanging out, eager to bask in every compliment that comes. But out of the literally hundreds of interviews that I've given in the last 15 years, this was really the best experience, and I'm really grateful to everyone. Alright, I shall snap my fingers and disappear into the ether now. Bruce Um, I’m really overwhelmed by all this positive attention.

To those who know me well, this should come as no great surprise: it’s the story of a torrid (if mostly one-sided) homosexual love affair, carried out in a succession of exotic locales, and tempered by the regular ingestion of opiates in various forms. Basically, if there is a blue print to all of my favorite books, this story follows it to the letter (indeed, those who have read drafts of my own novel will notice certain common themes).
