Conducted in late December 1980, Attanasio’s interview elicits insights on other writers: Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Leo Tolstoy, E.L. Doctorow; his pessimistic response to Ronald Reagan’s election; comment on the fact/fiction debate and on two of his own works, &#039;&#039;The Executioner’s Song&#039;&#039; ([[79.14]]) and &#039;&#039;Of Women and Their Elegance&#039;&#039; ([[80.15]]). Speaking of his depiction of Marilyn in 80.15, he says: “I invented an episode for her that was quite possibly more extreme than anything she ever did herself in her life. And that gave me pause. . . . but I wrote it with the idea that Marilyn, wherever she is, would accept this treatment of her.” Rpt: [[82.16]].<br /> <br /> {{1970s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{1980s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{1990s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 1980s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 1981]]<br /> [[Category:Interviews]]</div>
