A congruence of Larry Brown-related listening and reading has led me to declare this week “Larry Brown Week” at TIRBD, and to commemorate it, I’ll have a week’s worth of postings related to the late author and his work.

The Monday Interview this week features Shannon Ravenel, the Algonquin Books editor who worked with Brown on all but one of his novels and who edited the posthumous A Miracle of Catfish. For the first time, she’ll talk about the reasons behind her editing choices on the book, and discusses Brown as a writer.

Tuesday, I’ll offer my own review of the book, while on Wednesday I’ll look at films of Brown’s work. On Thursday I’ll talk with Tim Lee, the musician who produced the Brown tribute disc Just One More, out May 22 on Bloodshot Records. The week closes on Friday with musicians weighing in on what Brown and his work meant to them.
