Dan Pearlman Interview

Interviews · Originals · November 20, 2001

Jeff VanderMeer: What part of being a writer do you most dislike?

Daniel Pearlman: The need to give up so many others things I’d also like to be doing with my time. Also, the usually enormous temporal gap between the creation of a work and its actual (paper) publication—usually a matter of several years. I still much prefer paper to electronic publication.

Jeff VanderMeer: If you could be anything in the world other than a writer, what would you be?

Daniel Pearlman: A painter or a jazz pianist.

Jeff VanderMeer: What is your favorite word?

Daniel Pearlman: For the writer’s life? Persistence.
