  9. CW: lovely interview with writer M John Harrison

    « “If we were to meet a real alien,” Harrison says, sitting on the sunny terrace of a riverside pub in Barnes, south-west London, where he used to live, “we would have no clue whatsoever what they quote ‘thought’, or why they did anything, or if they thought they were doing something.” »

    [As a child, in the library:] « “I would pick a book up, read the first two pages, think, ‘Oh wow, that’s weird’, and it would turn out to be a Robbe-Grillet, and it would open a door to the anti-novel. Or it would be Ballard, or another sci-fi book. You never knew what you were going to get.”»

    A sympathetic and insightful freeform interview with the great and wonderful M John Harrison, by the Guardian's Chris Power. Harrison's new novel, The End of Everything, is just out.
