GARY BENCHLEY, ROCK STAR

a novel by PAUL FORD

Fordiana

Ftrain.com is my occasionally dormant labor of love, a chronicle of everything that I thought worth writing down over the last not-quite-decade. Harpers Magazine is where I work as an associate editor, and where I write the Harper's Magazine Weekly Review. NPR's All Things Considered sometimes lets me talk on the radio.

Associates

The Morning News made me a contributing writer and made Gary Benchley, Rock Star possible. Richard Abate at ICM is my agent and Plume Books is my publisher.

Folks

Steve Burns is my friend and helped me greatly with the book. Patrick Ambrose helped and helped. Alex, Jack, and "Alex" have been great. And of course Mo Flaherty, who was patient with me throughout the incredibly distracting process of writing a novel.
