Full Benjamin Anastas biography and cross links...

“Marfa is a remarkable place for any number of reasons, but I will always remember it as the green garden on the horizon that I pedaled towards on an old blue bike while my head rang with sentences and paragraphs I had yet to write down.  I arrived with approximately 15 pages of text and a few more pages of notes.  I left with the first half of the novel written and a very clear idea of where the rest of the book needs to go.  For this I give thanks to the Inca Doves, and the hummingbirds, and the trains that seemed ways to whistle their arrival…”
