Daily book & music news & links

The New York Times Magazine interviewed Gary Indiana.

How many hours of creative work do you do in a day?

It helps me wind down. I get lost, so being able to get lost in something else makes you that much better the next day, because you’re getting away from your life and getting away from everything.
