You may know Benjamin Busch as an actor on The Wire and other television programs and movies. I've never seen The Wire—no TV, no cable, no satellite—so I haven't seen his acting work. I know him because we're Facebook friends, although I'm not sure how that came about. And I've known of him for a long time, since I read his father's essay in Harper's about Ben's military service. You see, I was a fan of the fiction of Frederick Busch, Ben's father. The elder Busch, who died suddenly in 2006, was a terrific novelist and story writer. (I have a shockingly large collection of his books, more than one signed by him; I even had the pleasure of hearing him read once in DC at Chapters and I remember him talking about his dogs, which made me like him even more . . .)
