Interview Roundup

Rachel Kramer Bussel chats with Ned Vizzini for Gothamist, soliciting the declaration, "I genuinely envy the NYC writing community, they remind me of the dorks and rejects I hung out with in high school."

Lawrence Weschler tells Sandra Martin of The Globe and Mail why he hates most celebrity profiles and how much fun it was working for William Shawn at The New Yorker. I've always been a fan of Weschler's work, much of which I reviewed for Amazon when I was there, and greatly enjoyed reading his latest collection, Vermeer in Bosnia, while prepping for a PW interview I'd love to link to but can't, in which we talked about many of the same things he shares with Martin, including his swell new magazine, Omnivore.
