Ray Bradbury once said of Ben Loory, “This guy can write.” Or maybe he said, “That boy ain’t right” and someone just heard him wrong. Either way, it’s high praise, high praise indeed. In honor of Loory’s second short story collection, Tales Of Falling And Flying (paperback, digital), I spoke to him about what inspires his tales, whether he’d like to see them adapted to the big screen, and which writers he thinks can write.
