*Trigger Warnings: Discussion of the Holocaust, one phrase ($exu@l a$$ault) bleeped twice*
Copy by Britta Franceschi
Brian Prousky likes to describe himself as having been two distinct people for most of his life. The first Brian worked a respectable day job and was a husband and father. The second, secret, Brian was a wordsmith, writing books in secret and dreaming of becoming a writer. He has said the only commonalities between the two were the enjoyment of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Mozart, Saul Bellow, and Roberto Bolano as well as tennis and hockey.
His “real career” was working for the government in child welfare, leading and running organizations. He considered it a “serious job” and “pretty tense” work, and it was an important job within the community that kept him busy. His first book was written between meetings, and it was inspired by, and a parody of, his job in social services. Other than providing some time and inspiration, Prousky says that it was otherwise a “massive inconvenience and impediment” on his writing.
He came close to publishing his first novel, Auden Triller Is a Killer, when he sent it to a publisher in New York. Incredibly, two days later, he was contacted by an agent and shortly signed a contract. When she wanted him to cut fifty pages, however, he thought better of it and decided to wait. He had written four novels, a book of short stories, and a book of poetry in the meantime, and he found a publisher shortly after he retired. Now, he loves that he can say that he’s a writer “proudly and openly”.
