EUPHORIA. A fly-on-the-wall delve into the literary omnivoracity of @david_mitchell 's mind, in tete-a-tete w local wunderkind (& recent #JoachinPhoenixTwin) #michaelchabon I won't embarrass myself by attempting to recap their far & wide ranging convo, I'll simply say it was the most stimulating hour of COVID captivity yet, secondo me. Hosted by #TomBarbash via ever excellent #BookPassage speaker series, the event was followed by (gasp!) an optional one-on-one Zoom call by yours truly, calling in fr Ireland @ 1:30am his time. What to do when deciding whether or not to meet a real live Tier 1 Hero?? Panic, elation. 'Of course, YES!' - 'What?! NO. Don't be absurd' PANIC. Rinse. Repeat. We're told we get 2 mins each somewhere within a 20 min time block, at which time our name will pop up in random order, and we should have a question ready. This info comes about 2 mins before the start time begins. Mind begins alternately racing & blanking in equal measure. Log on exactly at designated time, screen is completely blank, other then a tiny line of text in the middle of the screen that reads 'The conversation will begin shortly.' No Zoom screen, no visual or audio prompts yet. Waiting, waiting.. (employing mental Muzak..) The cursor pops up stating that the first person is IN; & the next person in line will be... Shite! I'm next. Panic, thrill, PANIC.. Suddenly, David Mitchell's silkily disembodied voice says, 'Hellooo? I can hear you, but I can't see you." Synapses explode. Fumble for Zoom video prompt. Fumble for what to say. Just.. FUMBLE. Total pro Mr. Mitchell genially carries the conversation, noting my clear organizational prowess, having observed the disasterous wreck of a Zoom background my home office is, labelled folders notwithstanding. PANIC. (Elation!) I ask my question: Who's your favorite character fr Greek Mythology? He demurs, claiming he hardly knows anything about the topic (Lie! knower of EVERYTHING) & is quick to credit Madeleine Miller's 'Cerce' as his go-to inspiration. Having jjust finished the book (LOVED) - thrilling to hear. So much to say! So little time.. Ping! Two mins are up. A lovely farewell and the Hero vanishes.
