WITZ author Joshua Cohen, I like you already

Describe a typical day in your writing life.

You mean after my manservant brings the muesli?

Lately it’s been whatever essay I’m writing for rent gets two hours in the morning. Then a walk on the boardwalk or beach. Then six or seven hours at the desk for myself. I assume I eat lunch (I read during lunch). I have friends but many of them drink too much. That begins around 10 p.m. At 4 a.m. comes the dream about the elephants. At 6 a.m. comes the dream about Mom. At 9 a.m. my manservant brings the muesli.
