Found these interviews with writer Harry Crews via Mike Cane over at the eBook Test blog. As expected, Crews is salty, slightly insane, and yet spot on about a lot of things. Some favorites:
“All of fiction is about one of two things: love or the absence of love, nothing else…I’m not sure if he’s wrong, I’m sure he’s right either, but he might be.”
“The writer’s job is to get naked, to hide nothing, to look away from nothing, to look at it, to not blink, to not be embarrassed by it, or ashamed of it. Strip it down and let’s get to where the blood is, the bone is…”
And Harry’s great insight: “The Old Man and the Sea is not about fishing.”
