D.Z. Stone, a New York–based author, is working with documentarian Stacey Cahn on the make-you-smile, sometimes wild, and deeply religious life, times, and patients of prosthodontist Dr. Dean Vafiadis. 

Peter Asher: Everywhere Man weaves scenes from Asher’s “musical memoir” cabaret show, archival footage of the London scene of the 1960s and Los Angeles of the 1970s with present-day interviews with Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Carole King, Kate Taylor, Natalie Merchant, Lyle Lovett, Steve Martin, Eric Idle, Jane Asher, Twiggy, and Marianne Faithfull, among others.

Two artistic collaborators discuss their latest film, Blue Moon, about the end of the creative partnership between songwriters Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers. Kaplow and Linklater chose to center the plot on the opening night of Oklahoma!

The preliminary sketch that Edward Sorel, artist for The New Yorker, drew for a possible Blue Moon poster. Sorel, ninety-six, is a friend of Kaplow’s. He eventually bowed out of the design process for health reasons, but Kaplow cherishes the sketch that Sorel signed and gave to him.
How does a two-person small press operating in a small apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side achieve so much success so quickly? I asked Wish and Coffey about that, and about other aspects of Coolest American Stories that distinguish it from other nationally distributed short story anthologies, such as why they respond to submissions the way they do, and how working together on Coolest has impacted their marriage.
