Samuel Nicholson edited three of Joshua Cohen’s books at Random House, including his recent collection of nonfiction, ATTENTION: Dispatches from a Land of Distraction. Nicholson speaks about finding a structure, a theme, and narrative, amid the entirety of Cohen’s nonfiction writing. Cohen talks about being accurate to feeling, and says that everyone has his own relationship to abstraction.
