Padgett Powell, The Interrogative Mood: A Novel?

I loved this book, and ended up reading much of the ending to my wife while she was feeding our son late at night. Every sentence in the book is a question.1 You can hear Powell reading it here and watch him reading it here. It will go next to Joe Brainard’s I Remember on my shelf of favorites.

Filed under: my reading year 2012

  1. I wonder if the writer of this hilarious Guy Fieri review has read it as well? ↩

maudnewton: mttbll: Padgett Powell’s rules on “What Writing Should Do,” printed in the back of The Interrogative Mood. I had lost my syllabus from his class, but once this book was published I had the most important part of it again. I’m reading The Interrogative Mood right now and loving it.
