Quotes & Notes: Peering and Leaping into the Author/Character Vortex

by Steven Wingate

…ying to tell me, I don’t know and can’t know, but chances are that I won’t come up with any new ones. They aren’t coming out of the vortex anymore, and any not already “alive” would feel like stock characters. I am sad about this, but must accept that their rising from my imagination to my mind is part of the fiction process—a necessary by-product of the interaction between me and the characters who carry my psychic DNA. For years I was deeply ash…

Dreamy Science: An Interview with Julia Elliott

by R. Mac Jones

…his theory that angels communicate via telepathy, that one angel just thinks a thought and it goes into the other angel’s head. And the closest thing to that is reading. I do feel that no technology so far has replaced that. Until they do brain-to-brain telepathy. Which they will—everybody will have a telepathy microchip enabling them to share thoughts. But there’ll be all kinds of viruses, don’t you think? We’ll connect with someone, disconnect,…

Letting Tinkerbell Die: An Interview with Jonathan Lethem

…is book. I’m reading memoirs by radicals from that era, the waning days of New York communism. So, Vivan Gornick. I found an assortment of mostly out-of-print novels that capture some part of that milieu. Not famous books. And not always the kind of books that you think are unjustly out of print. You can understand why they’re not in print. Are you someone who likes those processes to be simultaneous? The creating and the research? Yes, because it…

HuffPo, $315 mil, and when to write for free

by Lee Thomas

…, at a place that pays other contributors? Please note, that part of what “free” entitles you to is a freedom from “having to work.” No daily hours, no deadlines, no late nights, no weekends. You just do what you like when the spirit moves you. To answer the question, “Why would someone make a free contribution to this business, knowing that it will, theoretically, enrich a whole other group of people?” you really need to ask the specific people w…

Intrepid: An Interview with Patricia Henley

by Kim Church

…lay down that thought, that fretting. He assured me that my writing was my practice. My practice has been fairly consistent over a lifetime, from my early twenties, so for around fifty years. When I say that, I think, So why haven’t you produced more? But it all takes time, as you know. How has the business of writing impacted you? What has made you happy? What will you never do again? What do you want to do that you haven’t done yet? Patricia Hen…

Getting the South Right: A Conversation with Jesmyn Ward

by Nico Berry

…mething? Because nobody respects southern rappers—they’re seen as just the latest trend that needs to end as soon as possible—or least that’s what it feels like. No one seems to respect southern rappers lyrically, so I wanted to pair Pastor Troy with that quote from the Bible to add emphasis to the verse, and add a certain legitimacy to it—to show that he’s talking about real issues that should be taken seriously. Do you worry that that attitude t…

Know Then Thyself: A Conversation with Jeffrey Rotter

by Lee Thomas

…describe, so I drew fairly detailed maps of the waterpark and Nautika. The practice is incredibly helpful for spatially brain-dead people, which describes most writers I know. It’s also useful when your characters need to find the bathroom, or a visitor to an undersea city needs to know where to penetrate the plasmalike walls of an ontogenic spire. So, what are you working on at the moment? Thanks for asking. I’m working on a mini comic about Jim…

The Iron Will of Shoeshine Cats, by Hesh Kestin

by Michael Rudin

…ter gives us a unique vantage point. We come to understand how a man can become as committed to charity as crime, and how this makes that man human. Language itself is a central seductive force in Iron Will. While on the surface drawing lines in the Brooklyn Babel-like war for turf—American streets fought over by decedents of China, Puerto Rico, Africa, and, of course, it being a book about crime, Italy—it is also one of the main reasons Shushan i…

Letting Go: An Interview with Richard Lange

by William Boyle

…gel Baby (Mulholland Books, 2013) and This Wicked World (Little, Brown and Company, 2009), as well as the short story collection Dead Boys (Little, Brown and Company, 2007). Released earlier this year, Angel Baby is Lange’s best work yet, a pulsing, quick-paced literary crime novel that punches hard for three hundred pages. Lange turns what Richard Ford calls the “raw, unreconciled life” into the basis for an unrelenting chase story that features…
