Last year, he published Bad
Stories, a literary investigation
of what the hell just happened to our country, which he wrote to
keep from going crazy. (You can find his latest
rants here or here.)
For four years, Steve hosted the New York
Times Dear Sugars
podcast with his pal Cheryl Strayed. His short stories
have been anthologized widely, in the Best American Short
Stories, The Pushcart Prize, Best American Erotica,
and Best American Mysteries series. He also
publishes crazy, DIY
books.
In today's monologue, I basically get right to the
interview.
