Joshua Mohr on his novel Fight Song (2013)

In an interview with Royal Young, Josh Mohr describes the research he did in San Francisco, as he prepared to write his novel Fight Song (Soft Skull Press, 2013): “I did four days of terrible reconnaissance work, where I went to a couple suburbs in the East Bay and South Bay and took some pictures and notes. Then I wrote the most horrific place I could possibly envision. If Dante was writing The Divine Comedy in 2013, he might very well have set part of it in the suburbs.”   —Joshua Mohr, interview with Interview Magazine(2013)
