A Brief Reading Q&A with Diana Shafer of Terrific Friends

  1. Who are your favourite writers? Jonathan Lethem, John Steinbeck…it’s difficult to choose a favorite because I feel I haven’t read enough of one’s work for them to qualify. I once read just about all of Katherine Anne Porter’s works, but she ended up not being a favorite.
  2. What are your favourite books?
    Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
    The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem
    Wise Blood by Flannery O’Connor
    The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
  3. What is your favourite genre? Contemporary Fiction and short stories, but I enjoy taking occasional fiction breaks and reading more meditative writings on food.
  4. Name your favourite dead writer(s). Carson McCullers, Raymond Carver (and of course Steinbeck).
