Here's an hour-long interview with author Jane Smiley and Charlie Kaufman. Antkind spoilers ahoy, so if you want to go into the book blind, be wary. Charlie's as thoughtful and interesting as always. Plus he's rocking a great 'stache.
Among other things in the interview:
- Charlie's Lucille Ball-esque moment working in a Christian bakery.
- Why his next book (if he writes one) will be shorter than Antkind. (Spoiler: copyediting this one was a bitch.)
- His time at the Macdowell Colony. (Bonus: here's where he stayed.)
- Charlie would like to write another book. (CHARLIE. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, PLEASE DO.)
Bits about Ending Things are scattered throughout, but the bulk of it probably pops up around the 43 minute mark.
Thanks to Lasse!
EDIT: I just noticed, this is the event that was originally supposed to be Charlie in conversation with Susan Orlean.
