Richard Morgan est interviewé par Vector Magazine. C'est en ligne.
Petit extrait :
Martin Lewis: You are one of those overnight success stories who was plugging away for ages before suddenly making a splash. On your website you describe the rapid process of publishing your debut novel, Altered Carbon, as: "Gollancz published it, Hollywood bought it, I gave up my day job. Eight months. Just like that." What did that feel like?
Richard Morgan: Initially, fantastic. Fourteen years of trying (without anything at all to show for it), and then a three book deal out of nowhere. You can probably imagine. But then, as the good news piled up, the reviews, the enthusiasm, the film interest, I got increasingly numb to it all. There’s only so much life-fulfilling good fortune you can take at any one time, only so much adrenalin you can secrete. By the time the film deal rolled around and I quit my day-job to write full time, I’d been living on full spectrum delight for about a year non-stop, and I was pretty much beyond feeling anything but slightly dazed.
Le reste est ici.
