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.

thank you :) I'd love to hear more. It'd be cool to read your answer to that question, given your awareness of all those unconscious elements swirling around

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)

Yes AO was right in his critique. Your questions were you showing off, not you probing the mind of AO Scott, an assignment you should have relished since you revere him. You flubbed it like a schoolgirl
