Volume One: The New Year Collection 2019-2020
‘I like the interview form, and I like it because I like conversation, I like dialogue, and I know that a lot of my thinking is the product of conversation. In a way, the hardest thing about writing is that you’re alone and have to set up a conversation with yourself, which is a fundamentally unnatural activity.’ —Susan Sontag
This is a project I started over summer to stay connected to writers who inspire me in some way. Most of the people on this list are friends or people I met at recent events. I’ve included one or two authors who I ‘cold-called’. Thank you to everyone who said ‘Yes!’ when I asked if I could interview them. This is not an exhaustive list of people who have inspired me in some way so there will definitely be a volume two.
