Lydia Davis has changed my life and is the reason I started to write. I never dared to think that writing was something I could do. But one day I was reading a story of hers for the first time, and it felt as if she was speaking to me, seeing, reading me, too. I then consumed all she had written, and read and watched all the interviews with her. With her voice imprinted in me, I began writing my own stories. Although those stories are still weak, as I’m learning, they have given me the courage to reconsider my career in my 40s and pivot towards writing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Lydia Davis for being such a vital inspiration and giving me a second chance in life.

Apes together strong. Wtf

So, how do we know if any Alien ears have listened to this yet??

Just goes to show that recent modern African history is yet to be written in full. Thanks Susan. Your sympathetic treatment f your African subjects shines through.

Makes me think of my friend Gerald Edwards who travelled up to Shetland hoping to die there... I wrote about his pilgrimage from Upwey to this Ultima Thule in Genius Friend: G.B. Edwards and The Book of Ebenezer Le Page. Perhaps I'l nip up and visit in his honour...

Such a beautiful spirit.

so few prizes so many great writers.......Congratulations all.

i am in awe, he and his writing bring me such joy. as a fellow black man, fellow writer, fellow lover of sports and music, his insight resonates with me in a way few other works of art ever have, or really even have the ability to. his writing has such a poeticism to it that exudes ease, and it makes sense when you hear him speak; everything he says sounds like a poignant, beautiful quote extracted from a beloved classic. his writing regularly makes me smile, makes me reconsider my own experiences, makes me feel a little less lonely. thank you hanif for sharing your voice with the world, i promise i will not take it for granted. take care!

She's a hottie. If the audio were half-decent I'd stay and listen.

Yes!

IM IN THE... IM IN THE HOUSE!!

The US was not and has never been a friendly government.

that was a delightful interview - thank you :)

Wow, Michael, you sure do like the sound of your own voice! Your intro/first question took 3.20 to get out - 10% of the whole Q & A!!! Have you ever wondered about the relation between translation and concision, or heard of the idea that 'less is more'?

Prizes? Why? ❤

I wish Everett would write a novel about a professor on a university campus, about that life, and the few people like him who are truly literate, the last holdouts of the liberal arts against the terminal stupidity of television and the internet.

Kind of nuts that Dan the Author of Dilla Time used my breakdown 39:55 ! A full circle moment for me lol

And it all comes down to "race" reductionism 🙄

Congratulations Mr Everett! ¡Enbuenahora!

Maravilhosa!!!! ❤

Severance was a fantastic book, just finished today.. onto bliss montage

He begins his talk at 31:18

He starts his at 31:18 mins after a thank you to be invited

OMG, the amount of self-congratulatory pomp and circumstance is extraordinary. I clicked simply to hear the undoubtably brilliant Greil Marcus deliver one of his erudite and fascinating takes on American culture. After 20-plus minutes of introduction, let’s see if Greil even graces the stage. Just to add, Daphne Brooks hits enough hip and high notes warranting her Greil-adjacent position preceding the main event. Hats held high to both her and Greil.

❤ I’m enjoying reading Severance

glad to first meet Dionne Brand

NICE AND CLEVER

This was so compelling and thought-provoking--though the ending amused me a bit, since it sounds as if (in a way) Eliot was proposing her own "Key to All Mythologies."

In turas thrilling and heartbreaking, Tuyen's lost brother who has since become a criminal in the Thai underworld journeys to Toronto to find his long lost family. This sounds familiar, what kind of criminal activity? Killing a spider, the Thai's are pretty much humble and quiet, it is probably a mistaken identity, but I am just starting your book

Her work suggests nature without imitating it.

Proud of you brother
