NYT Sends Iraq War Novelist to Berlin
Kulish freely admits that his own experiences as an embedded journalist for the Journal during the invasion of Iraq weren't much like those of his novel's protagonist, a disgraced gossip reporter for a New York tabloid who's sent to the frontlines because he happens to share the name of an incapacitated war correspondent. "Being with the helicopter squadron was really different," he explains. "We flew in, we flew out. But I took tiny things from my experiences, and those of other journalists I worked with while I was there." So far, the reponse has been positive—"I haven't gotten any enraged emails yet"—and the novel recently went back for its fourth printing. Once he reaches Berlin, Kulish won't actually be spending much time in the city, as the Times gig bascially has him covering all over Eastern Europe down to the northern border of Greece. Not that he's worried; in fact, he welcomes the travel: "Berlin is a city filled with young artistic people who don't have to go to work," he quips, "so I'm a little anxious about being the only person I know there with a 9-to-5 job."
