Drawing on 30 years of BOMB Magazine, this anthology brings together some of the greatest figures of world literature for a brilliant and unforgettable collection of sharp, insightful and intimate author conversations. With an introduction by Francine Prose.
Not life-changing. but an interesting showcase of various authors' personalities. Will probably check out some Jonathan Franzen after reading his interview.
Reading author interviews is a fantastic way to find a sense of artistic connection on days when you can't reach out to your actual, in-person community. My favorite thing about the interviews in BOMB are that they are a dialogue between writers. You feel as though you are in the room with them and that you, too, could be a part of their conversation. Discovering new authors and how they think about the world expands your artistic community.
