...rural Illinois. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1964, he began selling articles and short stories to magazines. His first novel, What I'm Going to Do, I Think (1969) was an eerie portrait of modern marriage and its betrayals. (It was, perhaps, a pre-echo of his pending divorce.) The book won wide praise and whetted critical interest in this second work, which has been appearing in snippets for nearly ten years. If the fully assembled fiction is not the magnum opus that some had anticipated, its local colors and in delible miniatures more than justify...
...says in the interview, but there are two in particular--"The Applicant" and "Daddy"--that are so obviously meant to be heard, it's almost impossible to read them without at least whispering them to yourself.

In 'Sound Structures', Brown explores the possibilities of the lower volume range of the saxophone in a quiet stealthy composition that is shiveringly cerie. Brown allows each tone to echo out of his instrument and then lets it fade. Most of Brown's work is at full volume though, which when directed is effective, but when not, seems to circle endlessly. In the first cut on the album (Similar Limits), all three, Brown, Altena and Bennik cut loose from each other...
