An Interview with...

...Rachel Kushner

"I steer clear of books with ugly covers. And ones that are touted as 'sweeping,'  'tender' or 'universal.' But to the real question of what’s inside: I avoid books that seem to conservatively follow stale formulas. I don’t read for plot, a story 'about' this or that. There must be some kind of philosophical depth rendered into the language, something happening."
