【Goodreadsより】Anything Can Happen provides a portrait of USofAian fiction from the 1970’s by way of interactions with 19 authors, some of whom are still knocking around upon the scene and others who perhaps deserve to be rediscovered. The interviews were all, nearly to a one, intelligent, engaging, sophisticated, and engaged with the variety of issues pertaining to the creation of fiction. Recurring throughout the interviews are a number of themes and questions: the status of moral fiction, a love for South American writers, the relation of cinema to the writing of books, jazz and improvisation, and the question of innovative and postmodernist techniques in fictioning. Of those authors with which I’ve been engaged in reading these past few years, the interviews are news to me, I’ve not seen them pop up on-line. And interest in four or more of these authors justifies picking up a copy of this collection. The diversity of style and discussion, and especially the high level of conversation and thinking represented in these interviews, makes it a must-have for anyone interested in questions about what fiction is.
