Q: If you could travel back in time, which of the great writers would you like to meet and why?
A: John Steinbeck. I fell in love with him after reading Travels with Charley. The opening paragraph is exquisite. But apart from that book, which I adore more than anything because of his love for dogs, I think Steinbeck had that beautiful quality of writing even the most mundane incident in the most appealing manner.
Q: Do you have a lucky writing talisman? If so, what is it?
A: Not really. But I do tend to listen to a lot of Sufjan Stevens, The National and Mac DeMarco while writing.
Q: If you could teleport yourself anywhere, real or fictional, where would it be and why?
A: Somewhere up north, where the Northern Lights are bright.
