I think I got most into him because in college I was into Andy Warhol and “Songs for Drella” had just come out, and then there was also “Magic and Loss.” Rock music plays an important part in my writing, and Lou Reed’s work is fitting in several ways – I had just renamed the chapter I was working on after a song of his a few days before he died. His death has affected me tremendously for some reason, especially as the lovely tributes keep pouring out. To me maybe it’s because he’s a symbol of not underestimating the depth, potential or possibility of change/growth in any of us … Or our characters.
