Popis: This interview with British writer Blake Morrison concentrates on his fiction and poetry. Themes that link his diverse body of work are traced, such as crime and self-revelation. Morrison’s fiction is placed within a realist context, aided by discussions of the importance of character, and the ‘state in the nation’ novel, contrasted with the idea of the unreliable narrator of postmodern fiction, which is also present. The interview discusses the writer’s influences—such as American fiction—and his interest in point of view.
