A Word on Words; 2713; Mars Hill

building in on guns in the once again welcome to word on words mars hill is our guest welcomed were not words is an interview to talk about the motors bench your book your book go along in the writing and now being widely acclaimed i congratulate you think you think i am have tested the outset how much of this novel is all my route most of the poem in all the incidents were true things around them through in my early early boyhood growing up in arkansas i took liberties with the narration and the dialogue and the special with the embassy ent and in

describing the but the surroundings and so well so it's fair to say it that sun and mars are very close to each other very close to the sun this young boy who at the outset i think go and who loses the sun at the outset i know that sounds father dive and i know that uncle that becomes dominant force there's live and then i thought our studios to tell us a story in which uncle that really provides the life force for his upbringing through that difficult time of repression once inside however i find that the memory of son's father is really the mentoring role model and at least

had moved the book you traveled about first will oprah and then poppa band and the two different roles these two strong black men played in the lock in an intimate way in the life of young well this of course is my father in the outset i realized that i couldn't tell the story and simply one block but i had to come to a completion in the first part of the story and there was something more a dramatic wouldn't think that if i was thinking all plot which i wasn't in the system the wrist two million tons of a

lot then i couldn't agree more dramatic than my father's death of course for the first book but the sequel yes to this and this book to which are more criminal is a different as a different sort are a reminded in so many different ways of albert worries stories and his novels overwhelming bulk of which he told me when he was you know the word different young character but he put himself inside his fictional young men and and brought him through a couple of books in the same way you plan to do in iowa i thought that's the title the molders bench that was a grabber he pulled me into the book

right away i have i had a sort of a sense of the woes of a baptist echo from other former press the island why that title goes whoa and the title i think it has many metaphors and the idea of sitting in a desolate mean the living as an engineer for some twenty seven years but while i was sitting at my desk at lots and but i thought about elena wood rotted and women but i thought about how i had gone to movements in what at what the what hell it was this is well and i

wrote down so my early on couple pages and will go black book about the smallest started to just started to write things and put it away and then the later irwin eighty seven when i went to writers' workshop and the lesson we'll sort of makes this right direction and his writers workshop and russell the right place when final about write more about writing plays structure writing plays and that there aren't costs close so they said we'll fix necessary or overt deal with fiction is as well play right decision ha ha ha ha ha ah and iranian as the idyllic barrasso bakes was teaching cause unknown jihadist right five beginnings of

books from roomful of the next the class which is listened to in a roof which is less than full of wallace and merlin of the banks' debt mess yes feature an hour a pessimist but so i had her own you know we're all wondering where we go to get these five five pages each picked i couldn't type the potomac and timeless expenses label so i don't know so i did what everybody else develop beckmann notes and i dug up about three different beginnings for my notes and little mosque which is one of them and now that you've made and i made an engineer things are about your earlier they actually record because i was already require a year and not have a theater and what are the i have to abide by the decision of the glasgow city a really ridiculous pieces and

everybody a lot more respect and so russell banks of marshall produced a couple miles so shocks order out of the railroads well from nineteen eighty seven on you've been stuck with a moment at one point one for a wonderful way to get into the story of your life is at all the metaphors and all these ideas about the moments binge came about after i'd written the book misses and when i started to try to explain like and talk and you know about why the mother's bent and they're all like i thought of some of the most writing the book but i thought of an awful lot more after our own wrote a book printed it because its simply a person you always start of an

individual who was as we all born in sin as christian belief and now we go to homeowners when stewart total sense of as forgiveness and they have to accept it on i should say when we're accepted into india into india company of the so called chosen then we make a vow to live a good christian life which is this process or redemption is not just a one time thing redemption means that you have to abide by the rules of the church in europe a little more life personal life and so the process and historical of the process and isis supply is very strongly to slavery says slavery moves will upgrade its

crimes against humanity in the us to people who are for all of continental people and no nobody who will linger in the sassoon been speeding or practice or because they have to treat this is an amazing only way you practice latest closure as to look like to hear when you not awful an awful lot but i don't know that the thought of a christian laws as they did as i read your book that it was remarkable that as you said cardinal people oh really put in a new environment i came to hold so closely relate to aggress class thing grabs the christian religion and the one thing of that the one compelling thought i had about

songs papa and his uncle that use what dave how awful driving force the baptist church was and i mean every year that national convention they were going to go in every sunday they went every day they lived it and the sun new son's name misspelled as you ending with youth sun news are really required only earliest days in the heart of that really has really struggled along for a long like they are always there the derby but it was always we didn't know it but it was all isn't alone well fed augustine is for this ad is considered the the one who's saying that

the in st paul over the greatest those saviors of the christian church cause jesus didn't practice christian religion that was all christian religion is a sudden example there have to be people out to him that they don't so do exactly ben stiller st augustine was an african i didn't know that until a senate that we're going to promote the gray oh no emotion his pitcher has an african his room as the european union when he was in africa and he says so and the source parents and a lot of the people that we don't know because this business of attaching race and color to a person's ability an accomplice was all about falling years old you're an

athlete and then and that's that's the thing that we've gotten ourselves into and that is attaching people's call to their abilities no other country has done is to the extent that the some of the countries in the way us has done so the idea was an african american and seventy seven and s all these crosses is christian crosses the episode exhibit that i went to and how they made these statues these mass oh the parents are what preceded it was two three thousand years ago local press are there and the us is the christian religion is a rizzoli isles you know you love me and when

you begin the store without a pet then if i was that in the years and to live without her in bum of that's a very strong force after that introduction you tell us you follow early in the city early in this century that is about that and your father hadn't had bought this one point six by insecurity acres on the highway in arkansas for them their way to louisiana richmond and thereby and it uses to this community leader who was your father and then you the story of this marvelous story unfolds and you take us through life coming up that will you tell us about a huge model what now tell me about

huge credit sarah myers grant program for he had been a slave enjoyed to understand them and it ripples that much of that and can you tell us a little ride and the state took off like many laboratory owned slaves the free treatment at that time that the individual like in seoul and those starters went off a move when he got to arkansas he noticed the world have started to turn chilly at night like it is in tennessee that's the name i'm sure arkansas will lose to assimilate in his suit goes about that for a movie pulp abusing them all up three letters

but of course in the end he was omar among these big tall trees these big tall pine trees at all since so for them it was really unknown hey at the sleeping out one night he had the story went that he woke up and looked from militias is is audible this is a beautiful country beautiful assist all the big trees and what about racism i'm never going to sleep and eight so in the book i say is its use but actually called himself after the hills like the indians did he says the name from owners gonna be you well he's using that as a huge huge tree that was what is referred to and no of course when

white people who were officials also for purposes of this negro strenuously is trying to save and so they are you know i i am i tried to write a story about it lloyd floyd and he had been raised in the south a his mother would just roll old figure and i lay over the new mode to tell a story of course i did not dare risk trying to write dallek the i was afraid of my year in the i was

afraid of that as somehow would be read as marking and then finally gave it up in the ui dialect with such ease and then there is almost rhetorical flourish and you both appropriate move in another of speaking to singing and back dividing dallek just come naturally to it your ear and listening back to your childhood a listening and hearing ballad can burn natural that's why you know why people generally hurt different tolls that you're the cause and then the war was another tempting it because i'm sure you would've meant something different but

there is an old ballad as newsom wielded of music that's rooted and a bum but spelling dallek i knew nothing but small window and that's led to get this mixed views and i love laughter and fun what was all right in the end he was music right it is moving like me and you know and he was a master director of course take this area or dumb bot rolls down but has a different parish you're a drummer defender of the most poignant scene in a book from a concept that point where in the word imminent domain suddenly thrusts itself in your followers live in i mean he had been a

successful businessman and i you know inland of it had stocks a man crash comes in you know it doesn't lower the only one thing police the stock but that but that that moment when your father is ending there ms becca would is going boy in the day he has been promised the world was about an apple will happen and it is the same bed good one to two years but it is a powerful thing davis did you witness that in life are ill that's when the senate one of the most memorable part of my life was those times when i saw my father in trouble because of the time that this guy took his cap

the new fishing too an elder from a mother's garden in the most cheese grits with shade trees that signal from ports in and there my father who we don't grow local streams and this is like cutting off middle of his right arm so to speak and when my father heard i heard and mcginty young boy being a loving wife although the way or did you know both coming in second row in the mud to keep the grass it was no place to be seen good work broken as word that's right

and as it turned out a lot of the of the store could've been saved from part of st vincent you know they couldn't understand as an engineer that they could vary that right because when i'm in it and the stack of the way most of them would understand that no but now a lot of things that could have been done to sell for mobile didn't happen they didn't have to tell on this listener is a blacksmith shop yells his livelihood and that they have absolutely no regard for you probably are i'm

fine that's sala me with a cell phone made and my all of my uncles look there in those affected you had no protection and no have no we have no protection by law about all of them in they have to have been building of their respective that you have was lying down and the arkansas was always their strict quality of the land as a motorcycle i took advantage of that you'd gotten by lying deliberately in the areas of the new what's worthwhile and the albanian sit on the list and wanted that end of the pay him the prize for there's another scene that is funny and jean have been going to you know let's go into the bottle and i mean an arc a bit shaken down and again i get your witness to that the lead story or

welcome mats power personality really merged the lexington they won't bomb that was that was a local paper that didn't exaggerate alone uncle but it could be as good and then as he was some tents on this get made un but he did though will control over of that community the world of those results of his wealth and his power and his influence and he was very articulate the only then went in there much education he knew his people quote inside and out and early

that will slow reasons a warrior he was a he dominated people hadn't known about a question that my father was beloved but that was feared it and respect and now he's you know put all this time and on this book another has to be a sequel how's it going and when is it coming well earned i've started to a britain first chapter and policy of so the sequel in a legitimate call then it's got a big malls bits i guess it depends on what hopper goes this to say about a bubble shows about but it's going to be my life of a local pet because that's where the real bowl belongs more money comes in because of all that gear to my live alone in all it was

steady warrick church that so i did that's all that would let you do how you think it will take to complete those people arlen i've learned a bit about the writing and the process of writing this book i hopefully i'll be able to have this book at all a city near their lives with within a year a solo hikes will expect to to have this book the first draft in a way
