5/13/2023 0 Comments A Fan's Notes by Frederick Exley![]() ![]() ![]() I read it when I was probably 23, 24 years old and at this very low Exley-like moment in my life, where I had no job and I was over-educated and had no prospects. CLARKE: It was an incredibly big influence on me. ROBERTS: Frederick Exley's fictional memoir, "A Fan's Notes," it's an actual real book, is almost a character in your book "Exley." Was it a big influence on you? Professor BROCK CLARKE (Author, "Exley"): Thanks, Rebecca. ![]() I am, however, fairly certain that the book "Exley" was written by Brock Clarke, and that Brock Clarke joins us now from Maine Public Broadcasting in Portland. Also involved are Miller's psychiatrist, who may or may not be telling the truth himself, Miller's dad, who may or may not be dying from wounds he sustained fighting in Iraq, and Miller's mom, who may or may not believe Miller, or Miller's dad, or the psychiatrist. Brock Clarke's new novel, "Exley," is a fictional work about a kid named Miller, who may or may not be telling the truth about a real book by a real person named Exley, who may or may not have been telling the truth about his own biography. ![]()
