Man is a genius. This book left me in awe
More authors please!
@HoneySiegalSurvivor i´m reading the book, it´s great!
such an amazing book, told in such a unique way, deserving of all the accolades and praise. read it!
esoteric, abstruse, arcane, great words
So glad that Seth is doing his part to spotlight great writing. Carries in the line of previous greats like Dick Cavett. 😀🙏👍
I feel the same. Props Seth.
Just finished this book, it was SO good. This dude is such a gifted writer - his prose is incredible, particularly the final section - but the way this story unfolds is a work of art. Could have told this story in a very linear way but he used such a cool technique to let the threads unravel. Awesome, awesome stuff
We need him back to update us on the pen periodically.
@HoneySiegalSurvivor ????
I wonder if he has those thin markers that actually erase that type of ink...that´s what we used in Europe a few years ago.
I just met him at an event at SUNY Purchase, and he showed us the pen!!
Hernan is delightful!
This was a fun interview ☺️
I loved his book “In the Distance,” so this is definitely on my list.
Hernan held his own against Seth, who's totally loosened up since the pandemic and is almost 2003 Conan-bonkers at times (almost!) and Hernan totally plays off it. So fun!
Such a great interview. Seth’s book recommendations are always amazing. I will definitely be borrowing from my library.
I'm a pencil guy myself. I moved to Germany nine years ago, but I still have sixteen Dixon Ticonderogas that I haven't used up yet. Partly because when I got here I discovered the Faber-Castell Grip, which is not just a pencil, it's a high tech writing implement! Triangular cross-section! Black eraser! Over 10 centimeters of tiny rubberized grip dots! Mein Gott, what's not to love?
I could read your pencil descriptions all day! I love my Lamy safari pencil to match my Lamy fountain pen. The triangular grip of the Safari series fits my hand perfectly.
So happy Seth features novelists. I hope he has Nghi Vo on the show. Her new book “Siren Queen” is out on May 10th. I am such a fan of her debut novel “The Chosen and the Beautiful.”
Cool title, Siren Queen, so I looked it up real fast and was surprised to see book formula No. 1. I see it everywhere now. That font is just overused. What a shame. Has nothing to do with the book inside, of course.
Very much looking forward to reading Trust, I just finished his debut western, In The Distance. And man I was blown away by how great the book was!
Congrats! Trust is one of the double winners of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize.
I think the Seinfeld aspect was not fully explored for comedic possibilities, the guy had a pretty good Seinfeld impression.
Nice interview with Diaz ! Loved to know he still writes with his twenty year old pen !
OK hey representative of r/fountainpens here, can we have a little more of the pen based conversation??
Here! here! I say, more pen based conversation is not only requested but required. To action you stylophiles! Huzzah!
But what pen is it?? Also come on surely bottled ink would be more efficient than international short catridges!
I’m just getting into his book, glad u had him as a guest. Thanks.
Amazing writer .I enjoyed the interview a lot.Julio retired teacher Argentina
Great interview!
I love when you interview authors! Go Seth! Also, a recommendation for author interview: Oliver Burkeman "Four Thousand Weeks - Time Management for Mortals".
This is going to be winning all the awards. Brilliant meta-fiction.
This comment aged well
Hernan Diaz has the same voice inflection as Officer Rhodes in Bridesmaids. 6:09- "it's a really good pen."
“Gripping stuff”, great pun.
I guess that's a Montblanc pen.
my guess is that it's a Meisterstück Fountain Pen. There are almost infinite editions of that Montblanc, but his black & gold version would be anywhere from
$600-1200...maybe more if it's a limited edition from 20 years ago.
@@amijacks that's a 144.
It's a Cross.
@@ThomasSarantos no. The Montblanc logo (white star) is visible on the cap top.
Pls make yourself a favor and read this book.
You're reminding me of Trixie Mattel a little bit
Close your eyes, don't you hear Mike Birbiglia? Kinda?
he might be familiar with ayn rand's atlas shrugged...though diaz book is not siding on socialism or capitalism but showing different political/social isms of the time... a good read

Wait, so how much is that f***ing pen!??
