So, when I first saw Brock Clarke&#8217;s book of the same name, I picked it up. I have been a fan of <em>A Fan&#8217;s Notes<\/em>, Exley&#8217;s remarkable &#8220;fictional memoir,&#8221; since I first read it back in the &#8217;70s.

Brock Clarke will be in our studios to talk about this novel and his previous, highly-acclaimed novel, <em>An Arsonist&#8217;s Guide to Writers&#8217; Homes in New England<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Brock is visiting the north country for the SLU Writers Series.
