Jon Raymond reads from Livability on VanityFair.com

Have a listen to the Vanity Fair podcast "Writers Reading featuring Plazm editor Jon Raymond.

When his childhood friend’s sick father asked for help, Daryl was reluctant. But in the end, he made it his mission to find Benny. He searched the old neighborhood, but barely recognized the place, what with all the new condos and flashy storefronts. And when he found Benny at last, Daryl barely recognized him either. In this compelling short story from Livability: Stories (Bloomsbury), writer Jon Raymond reveals a character grappling with change, disillusionment, and a friendship gone awry. Raymond is the co-writer of the films Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy, adapted from stories in this collection.

Signed first edition copies of Livability are available from Plazm.com
