William Flanagan writes: My first novel, A&R, came out in 2000 and got good reviews and lots of attention. My second novel is coming out later this year. It’s called New Bedlam, after the mythical town in Rhode Island where the story takes place. One of the characters is a novelist and Brown professor named Mark Hamburger, whom I created in a fiction assignment for a John Hawkes class way back in 1976. When I got out of Brown I wrote for the Providence Journal and then the Boston Globe. I moved to New York in 1984 and wrote for Rolling Stone, Esquire, GQ, Vanity Fair, Men’s Journal, and Spy. In 1986 my first two books came out. Written in My Soul was a collection of conversations with such songwriters as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. Last of the Moe Haircuts was a book of satirical pieces. In 1986 I married Susan Gallagher, an actress. We were introduced by our mutual friend Joanne Cipolla ’76. We have three kids—Kate, Sarah, and Frank. I spent 1992 and 1993 going through four continents with the rock group U2 and wrote a book about the experience, U2 at the End of the World, which was published in 1995. In 1995 I took a job at MTV Networks, initially as vice president of VH1, where I created and produced such series as Storytellers and Legends, as well as two live concerts from the Clinton White House. (I was the off-screen interviewer cross-examining Madonna in Behind the Music.) At VH1 I worked closely with my Brown friend Lauren Zalaznick ’84. MTV Networks was and is full of Brown grads. A journalist once asked me why I thought that was true and I said, "I guess because we had no required courses." I’m now senior vice president of MTV International, where I roam the world working with the many different MTVs and VH1s. In the last year I’ve touched down in Italy, Lebanon, Dubai, India, Ireland, Japan, England, Portugal, Spain, Singapore, Scotland, China, Russia, Thailand, and Senegal. I also do a series called Crossroads for Country Music Television in Nashville. I run into Brown classmates and old friends from Providence all over the planet.
