Interviews

It's always odd, if not a strange feeling, to speak in public about a book you have been so private with, working in silence mostly, for years at a time. And then--if you are fortunate--you find yourself on a stage or at a podium or in front of a microphone or a camera, responding to questions about the work at hand. The questions seem direct and intelligent and interesting. The answers come as a mystery, because they are things that you have worked at alone and in solitude, the answers coming before anyone ever raises the questions, spilling out from your active and agitated finger tips tapping at a keyboard.
The pleasure of participating in a great interview always makes up for the rush of doubt and confusion you may feel about speaking up about something so private. I had that experience in a series of videotaped interviews with Rabbi Dan Ain of the 92nd Street Y. I have listed the link below. I hope, if you try it, that you'll enjoy it.
