Gothamist has been enjoying the efforts of our guest interviewers so far (if you haven't checked out Gothamist Interviews of late, there's no time like the present, especially if time seems to stop and not bother to move closer to quitting time at your office), and this week, we're lucky to have Sarah Robbins interviewing for us:

Sarah Robbins's first job was roasting, salting, and packaging peanuts at her family's Toledo warehouse. She now lives under the shadow of the JMZ tracks and makes a living freelance writing and editing for magazines such as the American Book Review, TimeOut New York, and Glamour. At present she's at work on a reader's companion to The Grapes of Wrath and her own first novel, which, when compared to Steinbeck's, is ... shorter.

Today, Sarah interviews songwriter and producer Alexander Perls.
