Interview Roundup

  • James Ellroy wins the Jack Webb Award for “[advancing] the gloriously deserved positive image of the Los Angeles Police Department,” and talks with the National Review about the honor and why the city’s cops get a bad rap.

  • Jonathan Lethem’s going to be at Makor next month, and he discusses short story writing with the 92Y bloggers, along with the Mets, Marvel comics, and why he wrote his Brooklyn novels outside the city: “There’s something about the slight feeling of exile that brings my imaginative relationship with this place to life.”

  • Rachel Kramer Bussel was doing interviews at Gothamist all last week, and I’m just now catching up with her conversations with Elizabeth Merrick and Julia Powell.
