Sarah Suzor: The TNB Self-Interview
By Sarah Suzor
Poetry Self-Interviews
Miss Suzor, so, in your new book The Principle Agent, who is the Principle Agent?
It's a secret.
Seems like you have a few secrets.
Well, it's a book full of secrets. Do you like secrets?
Well, yes, but I should be asking you the questions.
That's right. You should.
So, why does the book take place in London?
The Thames.
What about the Thames?
It's a place for forgetting.
Forgetting what?
Remembering.
Remembering what?
Days and days. Time and days.
So, by the end of the book, what conflicts are resolved?
None. It's a love story.
Wait, I thought it was a book about secrets?
Do you like love stories?
Okay, we seem to be getting nowhere.
Something wrong with that?
Well, no, it's just… I should be asking you the questions.
