Here in Valhalla, we know the link between writer and reader can be a magical one propelling the reader to a literary paradise like--well--Valhalla. A successful literary work can spur readers to dig deeper, to find out more about the author, learn how the author crafted the story, and ultimately build a more profound bond with the writer, the story's characters, and the world they inhabit.
This week we have just such an opportunity. John Pistelli, author of The Ecstasy of Michaela, graciously agreed to sit down with Valhalla Press partner, Albert Davenport, to discuss his novella and an article Pistelli wrote for the initial issue of Ragnarok, the e-lit journal of Valhalla Press, entitled The Strange Lanes of Hell: Against Materialist Anti-aesthetics.
The interview gives readers an insight into a talented writer, his creative process and the post-industrial, dystopic world Michaela and Pistelli's other characters haunt.
