A fantastic interview, but then Powers is the extremely rare bird - a true literary genius. He is not an a writer to squeeze in, however, but to be read slowly, with attention to every word choice...
Oh, yes, I don't disagree, but I am impatient! Actually I read "The Time of Our Singing" pretty much in one or two sittings, I found it so compulsive--hoping I will feel the same with this. Then can reread later for finer points.

ReplyDeleteBTW, THE ROAD (McCarthy) is an interesting read, but I'm not far in yet (sneaking ten pages at a time at the local Starbucks/B&N).
