Anonymous asked: From your blog, some things are evident. Two such things are that you're from Baltimore and you like books. What, then, do you think of the Wire? (I ask this also because David Simon has a piece in your "currently reading" book)
I’m actually not from Baltimore, though I think it’s great here — I grew up in upstate New York, and my parents moved here five years ago. But indeed, I do love books. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen of The Wire, which is not very much, only because I don’t watch TV very much. Out of fidgeting, not snobbery. Bonus nepotism fact: David Simon is married to Laura Lippman, the editor of the collection.
