Thomas McGuane

Thomas McGuane parla con Deborah Treisman del suo racconto "The Good Samaritan", pubblicato su questo numero del New Yorker (ma leggibile solo agli abbonati alla rivista).

Ecco quel che dice, tra l'altro:

You, like Szabo [il protagonista del racconto], live on a “property” in Montana, where you raise cattle and horses. Is there anything of you and your situation in Szabo?
I’m sure there is. While I’ve ranched for nearly forty years, I have always known that I’m just a writer. I like having a physical and factual basis in a life other than the one found in books; not everything a writer needs can be found on Google or in Lonely Planet.  newyorker.
