RR: What are you planning to do with the prize [a life-size poster of Hemingway on which the contestants stuck mustaches]?
AML: I am planning to put the poster of Hemingway mustacheless in my study in Allentown, so that Hemingway can look down at me mustacheless as I write and I can try to write him a mustache.
RR: Write him a mustache?
AML: Yes, I will write him a mustache. I don’t know what that means, but then Hemingway and I will drink bourbon together.
RR: If your work were sushi, how much wasabi would you recommend going in the soy sauce?
AML: I always ask for extra wasabi.
