Josh Ritter wrote a novel. And it’s good! Jill at Powells.com talked to him about his unusual, darkly funny book, titled Bright’s Passage. Read the interview.

In the absence of solid ground, the whirlwind becomes a whirlpool, and Bon Iver, Bon Iver is Justin Vernon returning to former haunts with a new spirit. The reprises are there – solitude, quietude, hope and desperation compressed – but always a rhythm arises, a pulse vivified by gratitude and grace notes, some as bright as a bicycle bell. The winter, the legend, has faded to just that, and this is the new momentary present. The icicles have dropped, rising up again as grass.
Author Michael Perry in an essay he wrote for record label Jagjaguwar about the new album coming in June from his friend and neighbor, Bon Iver.
