MetaxuCafe UpdatesSearching Member Sites
I’ve recently added a search function so that you can limit your Google search to just the blogs that are members of MetaxuCafe. I think that will be a good resource for everyone looking for literary topics online and you’ll find it right on the front page as well as other places on the site. Now if you want to read about, say Orhan Pamuk, but only want to search the litblogs you trust, you can narrow your search right here.
Author Interview: Paul Torday
by Mike French on February 27, 2008
Paul Torday is the award winning author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and now The Irresistible Inheritance of Wilberforce.
Pull up a seat and listen to me chat to him about writing and his new book ...
In what way did writing your new book differ from your experience of writing Salmon Fishing in the Yemen?
When I wrote ‘Salmon’ I never for a moment thought it would be published so I wrote it without any consciousness of the difficulties of sustaining a multi-voice plot using e mails and letters. When I wrote the ‘Irresistible’ book I was far more aware, and more apprehensive, of the pitfalls of trying to write a novel.
Where you nervous after the huge success of Salmon Fishing, that the ‘difficult’ second book would be received well?
I was and I am nervous in one way. In another way, the whole business of suddenly being a published author is such a bonus that I can live with the anxieties.
