A Chat with Joyce Carol Oates - Breathe

[@ruthjones3838]

Thank you for yet another wonderfully natural conversation!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks for watching!

[@sunshinesoftly6386]

Love how the cover turns the edge of her late husband's beautiful photo of mysterious Bryce Canyon into a breath of wind in the pattern of the weave of a Navaho rug. Looking forward to reading "Breathe". Lucky you to have these intimate conversations with your favorite author.

Thank you for this. I’ll definitely be watching it more than once. It’s really quite breathtaking. I especially appreciate watching her mind working as she is weaving her thoughts together and tying them back to “Breathe.” I’ve just ordered the book.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Yes, so interesting following her train of thought. I hope you enjoy the novel!

[@Villanova_Law]

I love you Joyce Carol Oates!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you! The novel is so moving I’m sure you’ll appreciate it.

[@karinsander6689]

Wow, this is a great interview. Thanks so much. Reading "Breathe" has now become an urgency for me.

Oh Eric this is so great!!!!!! Will go through the entirety of this as soon as I can but I'm very happy for you and about this 💚

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you! 💕 It’s always such an amazing pleasure to speak with her.

[@MsReadsAlot]

Wow! This is amazing! Have you spoken with her before? I have preordered Breathe!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks! It is such a joy to speak to her and I've had the pleasure of doing so twice before. I've put links in the descriptions to my previous two interviews with her from last year.

@@EricKarlAnderson I just finished Jack of Spades, I was LOVIING IT the last few pages were SO DISAPPOINTING,the ending was so ...terribly wrong...you LEARN NOTHING of the whole mystery with it,the whole story makes no sense with the ending. She rushed it,she just ...I hated it in the end.

[@gretchenmctavish7823]

What a treat.! I just finished her Wonderland Quartet, four of her earliest novels, plus two of her memoirs, and a collection of reviews she wrote, so finding this interview is timely indeed. She's such a diverse writer. Looking forward to reading Breathe. Thanks for this.

My father was a keen gardener, too. It is great you got to chat to one of your favorite authors. Breathe sounds interesting and the talk of native American gods and culture.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks!

[@emilyhorton8698]

exciting! I hit the play button so fast when I saw this. I LOVE listening to her. you have made my night!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you! That’s great to hear. I know it’s a leisurely discussion but I enjoy having the space to have a long talk here on KZbin.

[@oddreym2569]

I love Joyce.

[@NYLeafy.V]

wow! Today I read "The Hazards of Time Travel" and loved it --couldn't put it down, and then I see this! marvelous author, one of my favorite s ! I don't usually use so many exclamation points, but quite a coincidence.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Great, that is such a unique novel. I do mention it while talking with her but I’d have loved to have a long conversation with her about that book.

[@NYLeafy.V]

@@EricKarlAnderson I did a close reading , taking notes and asking myself questions - taking all day to read it slowly- I filled a little pocket notebook with quotes and questions about the characters and plot. I just love JCO

[@TuralyonW3]

Wow, I've been looking forward to this book and I'm excited to see this video!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the novel

[@petic4302]

Thank you for sharing!

[@RubenDario-hr4iq]

Excellent interview. Breathe sounds fascinating.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you!

[@ScullyPop]

Many years ago I read five novels from Mrs. Oates.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Well, she's written 50 new ones since then. 😂😂😂

[@mera3979]

Amazing, do you remember all those lines from the book?

[@EricKarlAnderson]

😅 I had some notes in front of me.

[@mimiross2314]

Oates gets her ideas from her night dreams.....

[@janlloyd6138]

"Blonde" seems to me a novel written by someone as a favor to people who didn't want the death of Marilyn Monroe -the reality surrounding it ever coming out. I am surprised the Kennedy's didn't sue Oates for defamation. What an ugly scene in the net flix series "Blonde". I love the way her death was made to look like suicide and John F Kennedy a really bad person. I really don't like Oates version of Marilyn which doesn't fit the facts about her or anything about the Presidents character. A great author? No a corporate cover up author. Shame on you Joyce.
