Nathan "N.R." Gaddis (nathannrgaddis) | 986 comments Interviews focusing on fiction from the 1970's. There are doubtless a few names dropped through the course of conversations such as these that might deserve our efforts. But either way, I've discovered truckloads of authors (BURIED or NOT) via author-interviews and author-essays. A few names here, rubbing up against the better known Barths and Gass's and Coovers and Morrisons: Federman (seriously, guys, this and that Wake book plus a bookshop led to discovering Federman which whole experience led to this here group organization--so, whether you give a damn about Federman or not, he will perpetually haunt these hallowed mortuary halls); Rosellen Brown whose The Autobiography of My Mother sounds about right; Diane Johnson who is not exactly buried, but her inclusion among these luminaries here left me curiouser and curiouser; Steve Katz just because his name is "Katz" and he's got impressively dismal rating data on goodreads, ie, NO READERS, but he's gotta be as much fun as his name would imply; and I can't believe that Ronald Sukenick is BURIED, but numbers don't lie. I've got a review of this interview collection inview here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
