Writer David Bezmozgis discusses his fiction and cinema in an interview with Jacques Berlinerblau.
Way back in January of 2010, the writer David Bezmozgis visited Georgetown University for a public discussion of his fiction and cinema.
Our conversation covered an awful lot of ground, ranging from muscular Jewish men, to sin, to the novelist Gary Shteyngart, to the differences between literature and movie directing—and a whole lot more.
Please note that this interview was conducted before Mr. Bezmozgis released his first novel, The Free World. Accordingly, our back-and-forth concentrated on his collection of short stories, Natasha, and some of his fiction that had appeared in the The New Yorker and elsewhere.
You can read the INTERVIEW HERE and follow the author on twitter here. Also note that Mr Bezmozgis will be speaking at the DC Jewish Community Center in Washington on October 30th.
