“If you are good, and patient, you will eventually have a career.  This is a categorical truth.  Being a novelist and being a Hollywood screenwriter are both, statistically speaking, spectacularly unlikely, and yet half the contacts in my phone are either one or the other.” Alina Simone chats with Brian McGreevy at The Rumpus. (We reviewed his novel Hemlock Grove in March.)

• Art Spiegelman discusses his role in the creation of Garbage Pail Kids trading cards.

• Bill Fox talks about his current listening with Dusted. (We wrote about his latest album earlier this year.)

• The excellent webcomic Bucko is getting a print edition, courtesy of Dark Horse.

• Elisabeth Donnelly on the Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier.

• On April 5, footage from Joe Strummer’s St. Anne’s Warehouse shows will be made available for viewing.
