Author Q A Quotes

“Q: Who do you think will hate this book?
Readers who need likable characters, happy endings, or faith in humanity’s progress.”
― Alexander Petrow, The Weather Forecast in Hell

“To those who claim I lack respect for the human race — I will say that, after all, I removed the phrase ‘depressed neurotic monkeys’ from all the places in the book; and not just because I like and respect monkeys. What does that tell you?”
― Alexander Petrow, The Weather Forecast in Hell

“This week’s issue of Publisher’s Weekly includes a full-page Q&A about TORN! The intro reads:

“After calling Torn ‘ambitious’ and ‘vividly detailed’ and saying it ‘demonstrates that Snodgrass knows his patch of America like Faulkner knew Yoknapatawpha,’ it’s no wonder BookLife Reviews designated it an Editor’s Pick. We spoke with the author about his long-running series and its historical inspiration.”

See the full Q&A on page 77 of the Sept. 15, 2025 issue!”
― Richard Snodgrass
