Gulf Coast

I know he started a fiction magazine with City College.

Yeah, well, and it's also very instrumental in starting the literary journal at the University of Houston, which, you know, Gulf Coast, which is now Gulf Coast, and it's been published by students.

It's a nationally published journal, uh nationally distributed journal that's published by graduate students at the university of houston um and yeah the new york connection is definitely definitely resounds uh or sort of uh definitely what's the word i'm looking for um It connects with me.

It was really interesting, for example, for me to find out years later that one of my favorite writers, Grace Paley, actually had a longstanding friendship with Bartholomew and that he was largely responsible for her actually publishing her first book, which was an instrumental book in my sort of development as a writer.
