Just brilliant. I finished reading 'Cloud Cuckoo Land' a few days ago and hearing the author talk about not just the themes, but the interconnectivity of so many things in our lives that stretch back through the centuries. Thank you for broadcasting this talk. As Anthony Doerr has said elsewhere, "You read alone, but it makes you feel less alone."
I get chills hearing this amazing human talk. It’s just fascinating hearing someone talking about something he is passionate about. I find to love your perspective. It’s like jazz to my ears. He is jazzing
And so true I Think that we somehow are our memories ….. we become like a sculpture … but we can also open our imagination to new experiences ….. and become a dancer of Life 🎵💜🎶🦄
Wonderful interview! I really appreciate how Anthony describes the interconnected-ness of everything! I've looked at the world around me through this perspective, for SO many years... but it's hard for me to put it into words. WELL DONE, Mr. Doerr! 👏🏼 This interview made me think of the movie "Mindwalk". I need to re-watch that soon!!! ;-)
So enjoyable to listen to and also full of great insight for writing. I found myself unexpectedly taking notes. His books have moved up my to-read list!
All the Light I Cannot See was truly a magnificent work! Thanks to that novel I took a trip to St. Malo and sought out one of the few streets and original buildings that remain! 👍👍
“Göremediğimiz tüm ışıklar” okuyorum, cok güzel. Filmini de izledim. Ama kitabı harika. Hiç bitmesin istiyorum. Umarım diğer kitapları da Türkçeye çevrilir.
Wow! What a privileged upbringing for a very smart guy. My brothers were very smart but parents were always hostile to any interests. We got constant put downs. The moms would set up scenarios that then required punishments. Moms knew we had upper, upper privileged surroundings so she made sure we suffered enough to appreciate our upper, supper white class background. I guess she could see us brothers as Mexican Americans who did not suffer social slights mom’s family under went. Mom always said “you guys need to suffer more”. So we did. But it was contrived. The moms thought she was building character. It’s true. Us brothers are all very generous. Rather upper types but we all deeply hated contrived set ups for the purpose of humiliating us.
I love the narrative of childhood as being outside and investigating everything in Nature - its a bodily involved process where you communicate using all your sensibilities - opening Doors into making narratives about everything I experienced 🎶🖤🎵🦉🪲🕷🦎

Please make Cloud Cuckoo Land into a show!!!
The imagination IS a MUSCLE - just like when your Pretty Enormous Nose Is Scratched when ticked.
