Also known as Scott Carson. Enjoys nice walks in the graveyard.
Thanks, sir. A privilege. Excellent, thoughtful questions. I appreciate it!
I’ve wanted to do a long form interview series in the mold of the Paris Review interviews for a while, so I'm excited to finally launch the BQ&A Interview Series with fellow Paris Review interview lover @mjkoryta.bsky.social

Debut of the BQ&A Interview w/ Michael Koryta/Scott Carson
I’ve known Michael Koryta for almost 20 years and he has read more terrible drafts of my attempts at a PI novel than anyone not related to me should ever have to read.

If you feel like a very deep dive into The Mod Squad, other cop shows, and their role in my messy childhood, here's an essay I wrote during the very bad summer of 2020. www.vulture.com/2020/09/the-...
The Mod Squad, Kojak, Real-Life Cops, and Me
What I relearned (about well-meaning liberalism, race, my late father, and my young gay self) rewatching the TV cop shows of my 1970s youth.

Happy to be able to share my essay for the new Criterion release of Paper Moon, a movie I have loved since I saw it as a a kid, and was thrilled to have the chance to revisit. www.criterion.com/current/post...
Paper Moon: Partners in Crime
In this tragicomic road movie about a Bible-selling con man and his precocious young charge, Peter Bogdanovich brings Depression-era America to vivid life without sentimentality or nostalgia.
