INTERVIEWER
What do you hold up as a literary ideal?
BRODKEY
Ideals are for greeting cards. I am trying to change consciousness, change language in such a way that the modes of behavior I am opposed to become unpopular, absurd, unlikely. You try to work toward a culture that takes time and conscience seriously in a real way and not as part of a tidal flow of hype.
INTERVIEWER
Is that really your belief?
BRODKEY
Yes. Be patient with me. Most of the furniture in my house comes from a period in American history called The Era of Good Feeling.
