At long last, my interview with Damion Searls is up in the Interrogation Room. Damion wrote two of the most interesting books from last year – a book of short stories, What We Were Doing and Where We Were Going, and a new version of Melville’s Moby-Dick entitled ; or The Whale. He’s a prolific translator (three stories by Robert Walser just appeared in Vice), and his translation informs his writing (see “Sits the Queen” in the same issue). I talked with him about his various writing projects: I suspect we’re going to be hearing a lot from him in the future.
