    Interview with Andy Elfenbein, Author of The Quyre

    What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Quyre?

    I saw too many reviews of new fiction using adjectives like “searing,” “gut-wrenching,” and “unsparing.” I wrote this as an alternative.

    If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Quyre, what would they be?

    “Maybe This Time” and “My Romance.”

    What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

    Anything well written!

    What books are on your TBR pile right now?

    Cervantes, Don Quixote, Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera, and Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty.

    What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

    The main character responding to the kidnapping of his cat.

    Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

    I sometimes put a towel over the screen so I don’t judge what I’ve written.

    Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

    Real life is so often the life that one does not lead (Oscar Wilde).

    If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

    That in a stressful time, this book was fun.
