Below are some interviews, both video and in print, from a few of my American Novels and Realistic Fiction:
"About Writing Fiction: Carl & Mark's Dual Interview" at Bibliogrind.com, June 30, 2015.
Carl Purdon, "10 Questions" Fiction, Lies, and Carpal Tunnel, June 28, 2012.
excerpt: #3: At one time you taught writing. My guess is you focused on classic literature. How far off is that assumption?
Not far at all; more a nuance of definition: I was able to bring some classic literature (19th & early-20th century) into the writing class, as examples of strong characters & scene & dialogue … but contemporary literature had more “translation” to kids (students!) of the ‘90s and beyond. No doubt, books had done that for me, too, from the late-Seventies.
