After the publisher skipped town, I was a little distraught, but I had already started formulating the idea for this book. So, in 2004 I began writing “Wild Run”.

Yolande Brener is a writer living in New York. She finished a new novel, Violet Capers last year and working on the graphic novel version of her previous book, Holy Candy. We have conducted an interview with her. photo:   Maribel Acosta How different are your writing experiences for short stories or film scripts compared to novel writing? In a short story, one can focus on a single event that happens in a short space of time. My two longer books are really a series of short stories that are connected, and in my new book, Violet Capers, I have emphasized the episodic nature of the story. With a novel, the threads have to be consistent and tie together at the end, and the same obsession or desire has to carry it along. I am a big fan of books that happen all in one day like Ulysses and Mrs. Dalloway. The journeying of the imagination is vast compared to that of the body, and this is the area I am most interested in exploring with my writing. Which are your life'...

This was also a time when I was confined to a wheel chair from a leg injury so movies and ...
