Writer Alexander Chee (How To Write An Autobiographical Novel; Queen of The Night; Edinburgh) on stealing things, rescuing things, and holding his liquor.
No one asked me, but my first concert was the New Kids on the Block “No More Games” tour in San Antonio, Texas - March 13, 1991 (had to look up the date). My iconic outfit: purple leggings with an NKOTB shirt (obvi) and a sherbet orange and pale pink windbreaker. I probably also wore socks with sandals.
Appreciating this so much this morning. I just re-read How to Write an Autobiographical novel and I feel held. He spoke to our MFA cohort in January and my heart danced for days. Of course you're friends with him! Thanks for the delightful questions.
I didn't even know I needed to read this interview this morning, but it was brilliant! I love these questions and am writing them down.
Oh, good. The questions are different each time. Glad you liked these.
I love this interview series!
