Netherland, by Joseph O'Neill

by Natalie Bakopoulos

…hel was longing for when she, determined, crossed the pond twice: first to come to New York, and then to leave it. Hans says this of Chuck, but the same could be said about Rachel: “He had a clear enough view of the gap between where he stood and where he wished to be, and he was determined to find a way across”. Hans was simply too oblivious to the man he is, the man he was, and the man he wants to become to be aware of any gaps at all. He doesn’…

It’s the Act of Storytelling that Redeems: An Interview with Bryan Furuness

by Philip Graham

…old. The tiniest cornerstone. Writing Revie was relatively easy because I knew what it was like to be a kid, and I knew what it was like to look back on boyhood. I had a constellation of references. When I started writing the father, though, I didn’t know what it felt like to have someone really depend on you; I didn’t know what it was like to have such a small margin for screwing up, to want so desperately to not screw up, and still, despite all…

Sometimes People Just Want to Fuck: An Interview with Kristen Arnett

by Barrett Bowlin

…I’m not an outliner for any project ever. I had a couple of ideas that I knew I wanted to do going into the book, though: I knew I wanted the chapters to alternate, where the present would go linearly, and the alternating chapters in the past would go all over the place. I also knew that I was going to have Jessa’s father die right away and that it would be the kickstarter, but aside from knowing that this was going to be set in Florida and that…

Faith, Karma, and Patience: An Interview with Virginia Pye

by Sharon Harrigan

…pt. I’d been thinking about the missionary couple for quite some time and knew who they were, so with this new plot in mind, I went into my study and followed the outline Nancy and I came up with, and twenty-eight days later, I finished River of Dust, with ninety-five percent new material. I’d been waking up at 4am in the morning and writing. I didn’t understand what was happening, but I knew I was fired up. And I asked her if she’d mind reading i…

Close Up the Little Devil: An Interview with Zachary Karabashliev

by Steven Wingate

…se, the BEFORE story. The third skein, the disembodied dialogues, came the latest. I needed quiet, calm places for breathing, neither NOW, nor BEFORE, neither HERE, nor THERE. I wanted them visually distinct, so they are aligned kind of weird—to the right of the page. The actual braiding of the text came late, in the “editing” room as if I was working with film footage. To me, that was the most gratifying aspect of writing. This book revolves arou…

An Interview with Mo Daviau

by Nina Buckless

…too. You got the good funny-gene, so to say. I used to do a lot of improv comedy. When I lived in Austin, that was my creative outlet and community, and how I spent pretty much every weekend for about ten years. Now I mostly do readings and storytelling shows. Bedpost Confessions is a sex-themed storytelling show in Austin that I’ve been a part of since its inception in 2010. I love performing and Bedpost Confession, in particular, has a cool soc…

[Poetry for Prosers] Like A Good Story? You'll Love These Four Collections.

by Katie Umans

…street, perpetually twilight, often cold, where the sealed-in domestic and commercial rituals lend not a sense of community but a sense of something encrypted, of many people working toward many survivals in some fiercely private way. Poughkeepsie and its people make up a kind of tragedy of self-containment (“We’re cutting down our half of the tree, you can do what you like with yours”). The no-break look and rhythm of the early long poem “The Pou…

Best European Fiction 2010 (Aleksandar Hemon, ed.)

by T. M. De Vos

…y–or, cynics might say, as old people themselves. Somehow, there have been new utterances and new pastimes and, much as the new is always indebted to its antecedents, the breath hasn’t been entirely snatched from us yet. In fact, if anything, there’s a little too much breath–together with text and bandwith and airtime and any of the other major transmitters. Of course, surplus doesn’t equal substance, and language doesn’t equal an utterance. We’re…

When does a writer become a Writer?

by Celeste Ng

…roup offered to set up a fund that would allow him sufficient funding to become a full-time writer, the poet turned them down. “This idea that Eliot should be freed from the drudgery of work misses the point that he was actually very interested in the minutiae of everyday life—he was a commentator on the quotidian,” British Library curator Rachel Foss told The Guardian. For modern-day counterparts to Eliot, there’s Days of Yore, a website that int…

Language is the Way: An Interview with Cristina García

by Garrard Conley

…s cultures and perspectives, but I’m also thinking specifically about your latest novel, King of Cuba, where you’ve inhabited El Comandante himself. Did your work as a journalist for TIME have anything to do with that? Though I sometimes diss journalism here and there, I actually have found it extremely helpful in gathering and processing large amounts of material quickly and distilling it down to what’s essential. Whether I’m researching colonial…
