		<description><![CDATA[I was recently at home in Chicago and came across an email I received from the extraordinary encyclopedic novelist Richard Powers. I forget, exactly, but I think I emailed him cold out of the blue, to ask if he&#8217;d blurb my then-forthcoming first novel, The White City. I also wrote to Thomas Pynchon and Don [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Rumpus has an interview I did with the brilliant British novelist David Mitchell. Read it here.

After the interview, he pulled a slim volume from his rucksack and read me his favorite poem in the world, &#8220;Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy&#8217;s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota&#8221; by James Wright.
Over my head, I see [...]]]></description>

[...] But only a novelist can put all these actors and dozens more into the shared story they all tell, and make that story rearrange some readers’ viscera."]]></description>
