I love this question: "Is there a fictional or non-fictional character from a book, play, or film that you’d love to sleep with? If so, who and why? If not, how come?"

I write a lot about imagination, but in particular, fictosexuality, that is, people for whom that is a serious romantic orientation. I think people's relationship to that question is more revealing than it seems at first blush.

i like your other interviews, i like ao scott's criticism generally, and i also like his answers here. to his last answer—maybe there is something real in simple/short/dumb responses, too?

(basically: i think it's fair to feel disappointed, but i wouldn't feel bad about publishing either! i personally found value here)
