Shorties (An Intervew with Eimear McBride, Krautrock Rarities, and more)
Hazlitt interviewed author Eimear McBride.
I think there are readers for whom process is enough. It’s not about the big finish. Readers are interested in character. It’s the endless fight isn’t it, the pushing, pushing, pushing, the prioritisation of plot above all else, but there are plenty of readers for whom that is not the be-all and end-all of the reading experience. It’s okay for some books not to have to engage readers in that way, although you’d think from the reaction of the critical press it was the most terrible thing you can do to a reader, expect them to pay attention to a book.
Bandcamp Daily recommended krautrock rarities.
