• At readings, we hear more than writer's words - The Boston Globe

• DARIUS HIMES » A Conversation with Stephen Shore
  I would say I was more in love with driving and the road than thinking about Evans and Frank... also it was maybe coming from my background in New York, where until two years before, I didn’t even have a drivers license.
