PFDW # 154 David James Keaton on his novel Shallow Ends

I am excited to welcome back author David James Keaton who wrote
one of my favorite novels of last year Head Cleaner. I am sorry
something went wrong with my microphone, I fixed it, I think.
Sorry if it sounds funky. Keaton is the author of weird bizarro
Sci-fi horror novels. Shallow Ends is exactly the story of a
party bus built on a fire truck that ends up being a hybrid of
Speed and the Twilight Zone, with great dialogue.


In this conversation we chat about Keaton’s novels, fix-up
novels, how our mutual love of story structure affects us as
readers. This is a tangent-filled talk that is less interview
than it should be. No serious spoilers but lots of writers
process talk.
