Short Note on Trombones

By Rosecrans Baldwin in Letters From the Editor — 22 Oct 2003

Today’s story is a great conversation between our frequent contributor Robert Birnbaum and writer Julie Orringer. Robert’s shared a number of his interviews with us so far, and there’s plenty planned for the future, including a conversation with Charles Baxter coming soonish that I want to excerpt here since it includes my new favorite quote:

Baxter:

You can read plenty more of Robert’s interviews with writers over at Identity Theory. Also, and I think remarkably, did you know there is actually an entire genre of trombone jokes?

Yours,
