  • The further on I go in this interview the less views it has, well done for making it this far.

  • thats not the say that the interviewer was bad, she actually sounds pretty sympathetic, but i mean like... in hinsight, she sould've done this and that. ... you know... but all in all i think she was a pretty good interviewer, at least

  • You saying that reminds me of earlier in the interview when he spoke about the certain, rare type of discipline it takes these days to dedicate yourself to art. How in the internet age everything is so fast and convenient that it's uncommon to have the patience to fulfill the part of us that benefits from reading or classical music. At the same time, maybe it's ironic that I'm writing this, on youtube, on the internet. Regardless, cheers to anyone who has dedicated themselves to come this far

  • They said Kafka couldn't be translated....

  • I love this interview - thank you for uploading this! Interesting insights as far as both writing and - surprisingly - reading.

  • The interviewer sounds sweet. Not like normal american media.

  • Das liegt an der Sprache! Lieblingsbeispiel aus American Psycho: "I maced her again" wird in der deutschen Übersetzung zu "Ich sprühte ihr noch einmal Pfefferspray ins Gesicht". Darüber hat schon Arno Schmidt nachgedacht.

  • : Me too. I might not say "relentlessly" arousing, but yeah, the sound of a hidden young woman's voice (I am a man) - and I wonder what body is attached to that delicate, accented (to an American) with a friendly laugh...

  • I think he was just focusing

  • that camera man when he does the insane close up hahahahaha, seriously:P

  • agreed
