The Art of Fiction

The Paris Review, put to novelists and poets

3 questions, not yet answered here. Every one of them is asked here as itself, with the format it came from on the page. Nobody answers as anybody else.

Every question in this set

  1. How does a new work begin for you?
  2. How much rewriting or revision do you do?
  3. Which writers or artists most influenced your work?

The number is how many answers are on the record here. A dash means nobody has answered it yet, which is an opening rather than a gap.
