Gary Clark: 02-06-1980

Abstract

Novelist and essayist Gary Clark reads from his novel The Clearing. He discusses how Icelandic and Norse sagas influence his stories and the importance of setting his stories in Norway instead of his hometown of Buffalo, NY. Clark answers questions about his career as a writer as well as his writing process and how his wife, also a writer, is involved in his work. He admits to not reading most fiction and tells why.
