Brad Parks Talks Journalism, Novels, and Other Novelists

Recently, seattlepi.com ran a Q&A with Brad Parks ("Eyes of the Innocent" and "Faces of the Gone") in which Parks talks about how his journalism background comes into play when writing -- "I was constantly meeting new and fascinating people – sometimes on the very best or very worst days of their lives – and was given license to ask them whatever impertinent question popped into my head. If that’s not good training to be a novelist, I don’t know what is." -- the differences between journalism and novel writing, and why he likes writing intern characters so much.

Read the interview.
