  6. Benjamin Lytal on 'A Map of Tulsa'

    If Chicago author Benjamin Lytal were the typical writer of semi-autobiographical fiction, his first novel would have been the story of a young man who escaped his hometown in the interior of the country to become immersed in the colorful characters and witty conversation of the New York literary scene. The hometown — in this case Tulsa, Okla. — would barely have registered in the rear-view mirror, if that mirror had been consulted at all. But neither Lytal nor his elegantly crafted debut novel, “A Map of Tulsa,” are the least bit typical. Like Lytal himself, the book's hero, Jim Praley, leaves Oklahoma to go to college in the Northeast, and later works for a magazine in New York.
