Tre intervjuer med tre mycket spännande författare finns nu online på Paris Review, som nästan kan göra anspråk på att vara världsmästare i författarintervjuer. Den första av de här tre intervjuerna är dessutom tämligen unik:
”These include the first-ever in-person interview with Elena Ferrante, who discusses her Neopolitan Novels, her reticence as a public figure, and her approach to her readership.”
”And Mona Simpson’s interview with Hilary Mantel, who talks about her Cromwell books, the difference between historians and novelists, and the difference between the early and contemporary stages of her career.”
”Plus, in the Art of Fiction No. 227, Lydia Davis explores her approach to the short story, and to translations, and reflects on the influence her family life had on her process.”
