Claire Vaye Watkins was born in Nevada and lives in Ohio, where she is putting the finishing touches on a debut collection of stories that all unfold in her home state, from down south in Nye County and Las Vegas, to Reno, Lake Tahoe, Virginia City, and the Blackrock Desert, the site of Burning Man. \u201cGold Mine<\/a>,\u201d which appears in our new issue, takes place entirely at a Nevada brothel.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What brought you to the bunny ranch as a setting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up Pahrump, Nevada, where prostitution is legal. There were two brothels near my house and the school bus used to drive past them every morning. As a girl I was especially fascinated by one, the Chicken Ranch, because it was done in this ornate dollhouse Victorian style, which I\u2019d never seen before, with dormers and flower boxes and painted in lovely pastel pinks and blues. I wanted to live there.<\/p>\n

Of course, as I got older my relationship to those buildings became more complicated, let\u2019s say. But a part of me has always been enchanted by them. There\u2019s something magical about a brothel. It\u2019s this alluring Eden compound in the middle of nowhere, even if it\u2019s also grotesque and exploitative and dangerous. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For a story about a brothel, it is remarkably chaste; the only sex act depicted is between the gay madam and his married male mentor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re right, there\u2019s a lot of dirty talk but not much business. Does that make me a tease? I suppose I was more interested in the emotional bonds between the characters\u2014Manny and Joe, Manny and Michele, Michele and Darla, Darla and Manny\u2014because in this world that\u2019s the stuff that can really get you into trouble. I don\u2019t find the sex part of prostitution that interesting. (Such a tease line.) It\u2019s the emotion work that gets me. As I see it, sex isn\u2019t the real currency at the Cherry Patch Ranch\u2014it\u2019s affection and intimacy. And everybody\u2019s looking for it. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d originally written this story without the affair between Manny and Joe, but Manny felt entirely too stable. We couldn\u2019t see what Michele meant to him. I needed something to knock him off kilter, to make him more vulnerable, more lonesome, hornier. So I broke his heart. <\/p>\n

An earlier version of the story borrowed its title from You Were Never Lovelier<\/em>, the screwballish musical comedy about a man abroad surrounded by romantic possibilities. Is Michele, your fish-out-of-water Italian protagonist, a Fred Astaire type?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t thought of him that way, no. I liked the disconnect between Michele\u2019s desperation and Astaire\u2019s zaniness, and I thought Manny would have seen that, too. That\u2019s one of my favorite writing moves, bombarding characters with pop-culture detritus and seeing what it means to them. You see it in the first scene, with the newspaper and Us Weekly<\/em>. And there\u2019s another point in the story when Manny is giving his girls a pep talk, and he uses a line from How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/em>, which tickles me. That\u2019s one of the chief ways we try to understand ourselves, by looking for our reflection in art, making meaning where we need it. There\u2019s a real sadness in that endeavor, I think, because usually the meaning we find is the kind that doesn\u2019t fit quite right, the kind that will have to do, anyway.<\/p>\n
