My interest in the literary interview is due in part to my professional experience as a literary critic and a journalist. While working toward my Ph.D., I have interviewed writers and cultural figures such as Kenzaburo Oe, Javier Marías, Marilynne Robinson, Kay Ryan, and Michael Silverblatt, among others and written for magazines and newspapers, such as the Paris Review, the Believer, the Iowa Review, Time, The New York Times, the American Scholar, and the New Republic. I'm also an aspiring techie and teach my Interpretation of Literature Honors course as a vehicle for writing, reading, and technology training.
