Work
New:
Drawn from a few days at Robert’s home near Sarasota, Florida, spanning his classic novels, his early years in New York, and the dark rooms and Meatpacking District clubs that inspired his work. Our conversation is paired with an excerpt from The Divine Art of Living, Robert’s third novel and his first in over three decades, marking the return of a literary legend.
