“No one's going to tell me that my life is not a sufficient subject of art.”
A few weeks ago, according to Google, Brandon Taylor wasn't an author at all. Instead, he was a 74-year-old professor emeritus in history of art at Southampton University, and a tutor in the history and theory of art at the University of Oxford.
Absolutely. Something that I kept telling my agent was, “I think five people are going to read this book, and I'm totally okay with that.” It's about scientists, and it's not the most universal thing in the world, or so I thought. It turned out that a great many people could relate to the things that the novel touches on. And that was just really gratifying and really moving. It's been really special to see the book find its people.
So it wasn't anywhere near as formal as you sitting down with subjects and a dictaphone and recording?
