Zooetics Lecture Series starts today in Lithuania at Kaunas University of Technology with presentations by Christian Schwagerl and Natalie Jeremijenko. Interview with me published today, including my attempt to respond to the great question: ‘What is the purpose of a writer in society today?’
A writer, or any creative. Creating is the purpose, I think. It’s part of human nature to do that, and I would say part of our higher nature. It’s a pity that more support is not offered to artists for this vital role that they play in society. Thank goodness for writers!
