Hilary Mantel on Wolf Hall
Cover of Wolf Hall: A Novel (Man Booker Prize)
Have I told you about my obsession with author podcasts? About how I diligently download as many author interviews as I can onto my iPod and then listen to them many times?
Personally I like to skip the parts where they talk about one, or several, of their books. Instead, I like to focus on the writing process they follow. Do they wake up at 4:30 AM and start typing? Do they carry moleskine notebooks around to jot down ideas? And how did/do they go about researching their books?
The latest addition to this collection is an iTunes “Meet The Author” interview with Hilary Mantel. I haven’t read the Booker prize winning Wolf Hall yet. The book is one of the many I abstained from while editing up Dork. (Fear of “inspiration”, insecurity etc. etc.)
You can listen to that episode, and archives of the “Meet the Author” podcast, here.
My favourite-st author interview show however is the BBC’s excellent World Book Club. Superb interviews with great authors. And extremely accessible. Plenty to listen to online and on the iPod, here.
The latest episode of WBC featured John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas:
Some of the other authors featured on WBC include Annie Proulx, Kiran Desai, Wole Soyinka etc. etc. Splendid archives.
Another superb place to evesdrop on the “writing process” is the wonderful “Writers’ Rooms” series at the Guardian. The last update, however, is dated last July. Pity.

Терпеть не могу, когда в комментарии вклинивается сообщение не по теме. Типа: “Приобретайте только здесь” или “не упустите возможность”… Ко всему остальному отношусь терпимо. Главное, чтобы просто комент был по теме.
Mantel's novel offers a corrective to that impression, an intimate and more rounded portrait of Cromwell and the political machinations of Henry's court.

The writers' room series reminded of the book “The New New Journalism” featuring long form non-fiction writers and their process. A distinct feature of each interview in that book was the writers' rooms. I was astonished at the detail with which writer described their rooms. I never thought the room was such an important part of the process….ah well !
