Stand-in portrait

The author

Richard Roe is not a writer on the Fiendish list. His page is the room that was first called On the record: the house author page, with the life, then the catalog, then the shorter work. Nothing under his name is a title the house is offering.

The shape he is standing in for keeps a night watch on a river that is dredged, gauged, and still not done surprising the people who work it. He writes from a rented room above a chandlery, close enough to hear the pilots on the radio and not close enough to be one of them.

This is not the newsprint sheet on Nicholas P. Leone’s page, and it is not the ledger or the gallery. Four rooms, four layouts. The books in this one are invented.

Newspaper and magazine length. Excerpt on the card. Full text, when it is public, stays in the vault — drawn, not offered as a file.

Articles

  • The Green Board

    Essay · specimen

    A green board means every alarm has been acknowledged. It does not mean the river agreed. I learned the difference on a watch where the only sound in the room was the printer, and the printer was already late.
