Q&A: Malcolm Pryce
January 12th, 2007As the host of Bangkok Poetry Night and author of Last Tango in Aberystwyth and the forthcoming Don’t Cry for Me Aberystwyth, Malcolm Pryce knows a thing or two about big words.
Favorite Bangkok noise:
The "chop, chop" sound when the immigration official stamps your passport and lets you back into the country.
When writer's block strikes:
I stare into the mirror and mouth the words, "You’re a failure, you’ll never write another word again." It seems to work.
Reading:
Solzhenitsyn, Thomas Mann, Rilke, T.S. Eliot, anything by me.
On Bangkok Poetry Night groupies:
We need more.
Stupidest trend:
TV commercials in lifts. And inside the Skytrain. In fact, anywhere except on TV.
Favorite crowd:
Saigon schoolgirls.
Fail-safe crowd pleaser:
The best way to please a crowd, in my experience, is to lynch someone.
People always assume I’m:
No idea.
But I’m really:
I’m sure they’re right.
Idol:
Guy Fawkes
Advice for 2007:

Freestlyle us a little ditty:
You’ll have to speak to my agent.
