I mean okay, so they bonded over uh over your book, but are you sure they both liked it?
the book.
Yeah, it's true.
I read this amazing story that I had not known about how your first book came to be published, which is that you sent it
To a small press nonprofit in Minneapolis that was basically running a contest, submit your manuscript and we'll publish the one we like best.
Was it like that?
sorry, what's wrong with that?
Peter he's saying there's hope for your next book.
And it was true that uh the genius could only emerge once there was no hair in the way.
Exactly.
So anyway, so Tom, go on.
Wow, yeah, and so and people may know that that your first published novel was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, uh which is quite extraordinary for a first novel.
And one
I I I always I always like asking this of authors who who struggle for a long time before they they were finally discovered for their talent.
Do you ever run into the many people who like turned you down and sent you rejection notes, you know, and and and sort of smile in a in a winning way?
I wonder though, since since you were able to pursue your art with such passion for what you were doing in isolation just for yourself, is it actually harder now that you're an award winning acclaimed novelist who everybody expects great things from?
We also read that for all of this writing, including all those novels that didn't get published and now the novels that have been published to acclaim, you've used the same pen for twenty years.
This pen?
That pen.
yeah.
