My Interview with Verity La

Over the weekend, Alec Patric at Verity La posted an interview with me, which you can read here. Alec, much to his credit (and as his really interesting Verity La interviews always do), eschewed the normal writer-interview questions, and we got to talk about a lot of different topics, including being an expatriate seppo, the persistence of Modernism, Joyce vs. Hemmingway and the relationship between literary criticism and 'average' readers. Anyway, I enjoyed it--but whether or not you do is a separate question . . .

    Great interview, I like Alec's deviation from the ordinary line of questioning, it can be quite unnerving but you fielded well. I enjoyed your theories on the continuation of modernism.

    Thanks, Mark. For my part, I really enjoyed Alec's questions--I'm much happier to talk about ideas or other book than I am to discuss my own work; really, there's nothing more boring than discussing your own book--if I wanted to say something, I would've put it in the book already!

    Good interview, with many things about literary fiction nicely said.
