[@patrickt.4121]

Great interview, great writer Michael Chabon!

Great interview. Love Chabon.

How is it an interview? He's just answering questions. It's a Q & A.

@@reinarforeman6518 I assumed that there was someone behind the camera asking Chabon the questions, and instead of showing the interviewer they just put a corresponding title card in his or her place. Chabon answers the questions as if he's talking to someone. Whether one calls it a Q&A or an interview, somebody's asking him questions. Also, it's in the title of the video.

@@chokingmessiah yeah, I know. It just frustrates me when I want to listen and instead I'm reading the questions.

Oh, for God sake, he doesn't know what he's talking about and he's making stuff up. They all do.

@@michaelchabon5810 This comment is as incoherent as the attempt to answer the trite question "how has American literature changed"? Why do they always ask writers such stupid questions --- questions they never can answer. I heard Zadie Smith say in an interview that authors get asked stupid questions by interviewers and they often have to make things up in their responses. I think we'd all save some time if the authors just said, "That's a stupid question that I can't answer credibly --- I'm here to talk about my latest book. Can we stick to that?" If you listen to, say, interviews with film directors you don't get this pseudo-intellectual drivel --- they just talk about the film.

Yet his answer points to an interesting hypothesis to a seemingly unanswerable question. Isn’t that a goal of literature too?

[@HomeAtLast501]

@@shinyenergyball What hypothesis is that?

well, he's not literary scholar but writer. yes, you could get more coherent and complex answers from literary theoreticians or historians, but I still think it's interesting to hear writers themselves struggle with these type of questions - about their craft from more sociological/historical/theoretical perspective - that they are not at home with, but intuitively are touching it by the sheer fact of their work.
