Interview With Author David Marston
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
2 novels
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Habits Of The Ever Living. It was inspired by the idea of entropy and how it is not considered part of everyday life. There seems to be a collusion amongst people in what is called The West, to pretend we don’t really die and that we can go on using up the earth’s resources and have GDP growth for ever.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know, haven’t compared.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, The Fall, The Outsider, Thus Spake Zarathustra, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a novel based on the life and thought of Martin Heidegger.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have no idea, I don’t try to write marketable books, but I would love to be read.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do it! My first novel is much worst than my second. The sense of achievement of completing a novel, even if it isn’t read is wonderful.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Become yourself.
What are you reading now?
Death at Intervals by Josu Saramago
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m reading and percolating for my next story
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Wisden, Being and Time, Bible (King James)
