Conversation avec Steven Brust

[marie.m]

Steven Brust, l'auteur de Taltos, est à l'honneur d'une interview sur le site SF Signal. Au programme, quelques réponses sur sa manière d'écrire, sur ses derniers livres, sur ses dernières lectures et sur les séries TV qu'il regarde.

Extrait :

Steven: A lot of what you do as a writer--there is something you really like, but something about it bugs you, so you do it your way...I liked the Thieves Guild of Lankhmar but it bugged me that it was legal. It took the charm out of it. So I did it my way.

Steven: A book jumps up that says "Write me". So I write it...The way I write--lots and lots of tiny bits that I can spin off, or just leave lying there

Paul: Do you like to listen to music when you are writing?

Steven: No. When I listen to music, that's all I do. I start to pay attention to the music. I like to write to voices, a low level of conversation in the background. Movies that I don't have to pay attention to, for example. That distant background hum is good to write to.
