The World’s Worst Interview
Victor Gischler has embraced blogging with a vengeance, telling the world about his pathological hatred of lemurs, his newfound remembrance of liking Jethro Tull, and much more. Now, he introduces a new series of author interviews, and the first victim…er, subject is his buddy and partner-in-video-golf crime, Sean Doolittle:
What’s the one non-crime book everyone should read RIGHT NOW?
SD: FERAL by Berton Roueche.
Actually, let me close my eyes and select a title at random from my Non-Crime Books Everybody Should Read shelf.
Okay…CATCH-22, Joseph Heller. Yeah, that’s a good one.
Here, I’ll do it again. REASONS TO LIVE, Amy Hempel. This one is short
stories. Really fine short stories. Ever read the one in here called
“In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson is Buried?” Holy crap, what a
heartbreaker.
Read that one, too.
Okay, one more time, reaching away from the “H” section…OUTSIDE THE DOG MUSEUM, Jonathan Carroll.
Man, I’m on a roll! Let’s take one quick stab at the other end of the
alphabet…oooh, yes. Slaughterhouse-Five. Vonnegut. Indeed.
Heard any good jokes lately?
Lemur walks into a bar. Gets nine stitches.
I’m eagerly awaiting the next interview, and I know I can’t be the only one.
