Having Fun with Avery Anthology

Avery, a new literary magazine out of Madison, Wisconsin, bears the subtitle, "an anthology of new fiction." They've just come out with their third issue (I haven't bought it yet but I am lusting over the beautiful cover), and already they've been featured in Poets & Writers, and published writers like Dan Chaon and Ander Monson.

Today the Avery blog starts a series of interviews with authors, either about writing or some other topic. The inaugural interview is with one of my favorite writers, Lorrie Moore, who chats with co-editor Emma Straub about music:

I don't believe writers are mopier than anyone else. I think dentists are famously depressive. And writers, when writing, are usually having a really good time. There are certain kinds of songs I just love, the knife-in-the-heart kind, also the Live in Vegas kind, but the writers I know tend not to share my taste. In fact, when referring to it, they refuse even to use the word "taste."
