His new novel is out this month, and it's another fine walk on the dark side of Ohio.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&amp;blog=6766929&amp;post=9338&amp;subd=thelongestchapter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In the 1950s he went on to be one of the founders of American Heritage and Horizon magazines. The last year of his life, 2005, he struggled with Alzheimer's while living in his Cape Cod home. His son John took care of him and wrote this memoir.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&amp;blog=6766929&amp;post=9208&amp;subd=thelongestchapter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Yorker, May 18, 2009, published a poem by Ohio author Ian Frazier claiming he's turning 40 "in just a couple of days."  Of course, Frazier, a humorist, is spoofing the reality of 58. He was born in 1951 and graduated from Harvard in 1973. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&amp;blog=6766929&amp;post=497&amp;subd=thelongestchapter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the privilege to join Ohio writer Erin McCarthy at a juvenile correction facility today, where she spoke in the library to 10 teen-aged girls. She gave the girls copies of the book "Demon Envy" and left copies of "Speed Demon" with the librarian. Erin McCarthy (who writes under the name Erin Lynn for her young adult books) and the girls engaged in a lively conversation about writing, getting published and books.
