Novel Dialogue3. Tom Perrotta’s Writerly Ethic
By Lorenza Starace
“Who do we, as writers, choose not to leave behind?“
Who do writers write for? If you ask them, they often feel ambushed: what to say? Certainly not “myself”. “Everyone” might sound too ambitious, or, rather, not ambitious enough. Do they write for their own linguistic community, their national readers? In an age of “born-translated” novels, they’d better sound less provincial than that.1 A similar suspicion often plagues those writers whose books are systematically turned into successful movies, or tv shows. In these cases, the charge of inauthenticity has to do with the idea of “...2021-10-0700 minNovel Dialogue2.2 Adaptation: Tom Perrotta and Mark Wollaeger Go from Page to Screen (AV)Novelist, screenwriter, and HBO showrunner Tom Perrotta joins his old friend Mark Wollaeger (who also happens to be a top scholar of modernism) for a wide-ranging conversation about literature, television, and everything in between.Tom reveals that he has been reading a most peculiar self-help book: Richard Ellmann’s biography of James Joyce.

A love-hate letter to military science fiction, The Light Brigade turns the form on its head. It is built around women fighters, queerness, and defying authority while being at the bottom of the chain of command. The novel also has surprising roots in the history of anti-apartheid resistance in South Africa where Kameron lived for a time to research women’s roles in armed revolt.

Extensive reference is made to (John’s madly beloved) James Hogg and to Robert Louis Stevenson, especially his Jack-the-Ripperesque Jekyll and Hyde. The violence that underpins slavery–aye, even in Scotland, and even during the enduringly influential Scottish Enlightenment–is dredged up, as is the question of feeling implicated in the legacy of an enslaving system.
