» Neil Smith Readings!

Remember novelist Neil Smith? Well, he's here in NYC this weekend and doing some readings. The first one is tonight at 7:30 at the Barnes & Noble on 6th Avenue and 8th Street [396 Avenue of the Americas]. Smith's also reading tomorrow at 7pm in KGB Bar, which can be found at 85 East 4th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. A Fraction of the Whole author Steve Toltz will also be making a literary appearance.

Canadian Neil Smith never imagined he'd become a professional writer. Sure, he liked writing and all, but dismissed it as a hobby - until his marvelous short stories started getting published.

It wasn't long until an agent contacted Smith and persuaded him to publish a collection of nine thoughtful, profound tales, Bang Crunch, which Vintage Contemporaries recently republished in paperback form.

Our editor chatted with Smith this morning and got the scoop on his literary process, the inevitability of melancholy and how he discovered his own imagination. Read all about it, after the jump.
