Two brilliant interviews with two outstanding writers, Jenny Diski and ZZ Packer. (From The Telegraph.)

Jenny Diski: “Books are available for us to play with. I wanted to retrieve the Bible from stupidity, to take it back as an “essentially human story.”

ZZ Packer: For me to use the places in which I’ve lived is a way of revisiting them, but not to have to visit them from my point of view.”
