Stop hating on Waters. I don't really care about his art. But he isn't doing anything wrong here. You people are evidently hanging out with too many regular people.
I've met both of these people briefly. John Waters was so fun and weird and light, Otessa Moshfegh was curt and direct. I adore both of them artistically. Otessa's literary voice and her unobstructed cruelty is perfect to me, it's a mindfuck to me that she can create articulated worlds of misery and truth only seen in the subconscious. She acted like I was an asshole for asking her about that. So mean! I love her.
I can see why people thought this would be a perfect match…. But the vibes were so different and it was off and I was thoroughly entertained from it all ❤
i like this interview! john waters treats the artist like an artist instead of a savior. "but HOW did you write it?" i mean, how else can you talk about someone's personal hallucination they wrote down?? freudian analysis? political allegory? we're past that. how does one have any fun these days, isn't that a question worth asking?
this interview did not work, John I think was not skillful in his questioning and never gave Ottessa the space she was meant to. too many closed questions and I gave up in the end...
have a lot of respect for john waters but ottessa is the main focus....let's talk more about her books please :)
what strange questions....this is such a lost opportunity, she seems and sounds so insightful and full of amazing perspectives.
Lapvona is indeed a triumph. Now that I've finished it, I'm homesick for that world.
John Waters is a mastermind and an auteur in his own right. But his zeal here is a little overbearing and doesn’t quite align with Moshfegh’s vibe.
It's too bad that so very little time here is devoted to actually discussing the book.
Haha! He is horrible! Imagine how deep this conversation could have been.

This interview feels like having a conversation with a person who's intent is trying their hardest to miss the point of what you're saying.

I'm here for John waters. He's the best in this feature. This the most engaging conversations with someone.
She is the real April Ludgate.
