Joe Hill: How I Took A Shine To The Family Business

Posted at 9:04AM Monday 22 Oct 2007

Joe Hill won't talk about his home life. All he will say is that he lives in a small New England town a few miles from where we're having lunch, in a restaurant under Fenway Park, the home of the baseball team the Boston Red Sox.

The most he will reveal about his wife, Leonora, is that she is the first reader of his manuscripts. He won't discuss his three boys. When I ask if they share his enthusiasm for writing, he replies, perfectly genially, "Ah, I don't talk about my kids in interviews as a rule."
