I wasn’t familiar with Mr. Silverblatt, but I also love DFW. I will seek out his interviews. Thank you for this article.

Danielewski seems like he could probably get to that manic state all on his own.

I’ve been worried about his health for some time now. I’m sad to hear he has passed. 💔 Glad you mentioned Harold Bloom in the article; the only podcast currently downloaded on my phone is Michael’s first interview of Bloom. I regularly re-listen to it. We’ve lost the greatest interviewer of all time.

That one is fantastic, a favourite. Their dynamic is great. Love how much of a curmudgeon Bloom is in that with Silverblatt endlessly exhausted by Bloom's preemptive defensiveness lol, and yet they still both obviously respect each other very much, and their still able to go to some very thoughtful places.

Like many, I've listened to his interviews with DFW. Thank you for this, I'm looking into his other interviews now.
