\"\"<\/a>Get to Know Berghahn is a recurring interview feature that introduces the hardworking people behind the scenes at Berghahn. This week\u2019s subject is Journals Assistant Kyle Perry.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. How long have you been at Berghahn? What did you do before that?
\n<\/em>I\u2019ve been at my current position for about four months, and before that I was an intern for two. I graduated in May of 2011 and my only job between Skidmore College and Berghahn Books was a brief summer working in the fashion industry. Suffice it to say, that wasn\u2019t my true calling. I\u2019m very happy to be working in the journals department here at Berghahn!<\/p>\n

2. What do you read when you aren’t reading Berghahn books?
\n<\/em>Normally I\u2019d say fiction, but recently it\u2019s been essay collections. Pulphead<\/em> by John Jeremiah Sullivan was so amazing it\u2019s almost not fair, and I read Sloane Crosley\u2019s two books, I Was Told There\u2019d Be Cake <\/em>and How Did You Get This Number?<\/em> in about three days. I also love Zadie Smith, Colson Whitehead, Dan Chaon, and anything Dave Hill tweets.<\/p>\n

3. What’s a skill or talent you have that no one at the office knows about?
\n<\/em>I\u2019m really good at Scrabble. I used to know all of the two-letter words, Q words without the U, and had a method of keeping track of the tiles so I always knew what was left in the bag. My mug is even Scrabble-related, but I guess at this point I\u2019m just bragging.<\/p>\n

4. Where would you want to live if you could move the Berghahn offices anywhere? Why?
\n<\/em>It\u2019s corny, but Brooklyn is where I want to live right now, so I\u2019d stay put. Or maybe the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands. Less people. More penguins.<\/p>\n

5. What’s your favorite thing about working at Berghahn?
\n<\/em>The people! It\u2019s such a great mix of personalities and everyone is so encouraging and helpful. I feel very lucky to have been welcomed into the Berghahn family.<\/p>\n

I also love that the job helped me discover new roles in the publishing process I never would have expected to like. If you\u2019d asked me a year ago if I\u2019d want to get into marketing, I probably would have said no. Now, it\u2019s something I\u2019m extremely excited to continue learning.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we work in DUMBO where food trucks apparently have the ability to multiply weekly. That\u2019s wonderful, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
