This interview is one of the most vicious, mean-spirited, flat-out rude interviews I’ve ever read.
In short: a delightful romp.
Deborah Solomon asks Christine Schutt about winning a prize for a work of fiction which Solomon implies is not original, not popular, not deserving. Solomon then goes on to ask the author if she’s ever amorously kissed her son.
And Schutt is stupid enough to try and answer the question with dignity.
It’s absolutely brilliant.
Why would anyone submit to such an interview. On second thouoght they are both a little odd.
