http://www.spinelessbooks.com/bookviews/VollmanW_AAPS.html

Extractions: Vollman, William T. An Afghanistan Picture Show: Or, How I Saved the World This fragmented book is a mixture of William T. Vollman's experiences travelling to Afghanistan in the early 1980's as a Young Man and his later reflections as, presumably, an Old Man upon the attitudes he held as a Young Man. The "Picture Show" in the title refers to the fact that he dragged several cameras along with him, although none of the photos he took ended up in the book. Parts of the writing are fierce and unimprovable ("Preface", "Alaska", "The Red Hill"), although the book is prone to drag in its middle third, through fragmented memoirs of being extremely ill in Pakistan, waiting for a chance to cross the border. The Young Man was idealistic beyond his means, The Old Man is cynical and I don't know that his adventures or writings after this had the samespark of nobility, however misguided, of the 22-year-old who went to Afghanistan to fight the Russians. From what I know of William Vollman's career, prolific writer-adventurer and scholar of the underbelly, I am nostalgic for that Young Man. Saving the world takes work, and you can't do it by responding to the latest headlines. "And if he had been a Soviet Young Man, he would have gone to Nicaragua."

Extractions: In his ambitious Seven Dreams series, William T. Vollmann toys with the novelist's role as historian. The series is a fictional rewriting of the history of North America. Though fictional in genre, Vollmann incorporates thorough research ( Fathers and Crows contains a 120 page appendix of glossaries and notes) and, like Pynchon, an academic awareness to critical method.

Extractions: It's not that Mr. Vollman's stories are devoid of understanding. They have that as they have pretty much everything, just about every device to which a literary writer has ever resorted, and some new ones of his own. But everything in his work, including what understanding you might find in it, is just that: a literary device. Which makes his creations curiously vapid astonishingly vapid, in fact, given the formidable subjects he takes on, subjects he travels the world and its history in search of, which he notoriously risks life, limb and the more intimate parts of his anatomy in search of. He searches for them, finds them, but then, rather than turn them into literature, rather than penetrate and mine them for literature, he drapes over them a tapestry of vapid literary reflexes. It is an occasionally very beautiful and occasionally very ugly tapestry, but if either its beauty or ugliness ever achieves poignance, it's a poignance that comes not from what it says but from its almost tragic failure to say it, from the pathos of its improbable vapidity.

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/V/vollmannwillia

Extractions: Metafictional novelist and near-suicidal journalist. Vollman's prodigious body of work explores the harrowing lives of the world's underclasses. To write his fiction, he immerses himself in his subjects' lives; he has lived among prostitutes and street peoplesmoking crack, having unprotected sex, and getting burned by lit cigarettesin San Francisco, New York, and Southeast Asia. Occasionally he feels compelled to act as well as report: In Thailand he abducted a child prostitute from a brothel, purchased her from her father, and enrolled her in a vocational school in Bangkok. For Fathers and Crows, the second volume of his acclaimed Seven Dreams series (1992), Vollman spent two weeks alone in the North Pole, the better to empathize with an ill-fated 19th-century explorer. On May 1, 1994, while Vollmann was on assignment for Spin magazine in Bosnia, the car he was in drove over a mineFrancis Tomasik, the driver and Vollmann's friend who was acting as a photographer and interpreter, was killed. Vollmann writes obsessively, often 16 hours a day, subsisting on candy bars; a resulting case of carpal tunnel syndrome forced him off computers and into notebooks. His CoTangent Press produces ornate, limited-edition books that are made from such materials as steel and marble and feature illustrations and etchings by the author.

http://www.beatrice.com/interviews/vollmann/

Extractions: William T. Vollmann's writings have always displayed a fascination with traveling to the ends of the earthfor his novel The Rifles , he set out on a solo trek into the Arctic as part of his research. But over the years, he demonstrated how easy it is to find "the ends of the earth" in its most densely populated sectors. The Royal Family is a sprawling novel set primarily in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, the city's main center for prostitution. Most of the story is centered around the downward spiral of Henry Tyler, a private investigator mourning the dead sister-in-law with whom he was in love as he prowls streets, dive bars, and cheap hotels searching for the Queen of the Whores. Vollman is famous in literary circles for the pace at which he works. In addition to a massive project we discussed during our conversation, he recently completed the fourth book in his Seven Dreams cycle, a symbolic history of the encounters between Native Americans and European explorers and colonists, and is currently working on two projects, a book about the Imperial Valley in southeast California and a series of short stories about Europe during the Second World War which will focus especially on Slavs and Jews.

http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/interviews/interview_vollmann.html

Extractions: Larry McCaffery: In one of your biographical statements, you emphasize your absorption as a kid in booksthis sense of riding on the magic carpet with the caliph, and so on. Did inhabiting these exotic places so long and so deeply in your imagination have anything to do with wanting to actually visit them now that you're grown up? William Vollman: My primary world is just this one basic "dream world" that I've been in from the time I was a kid. All these worlds that I see and write about are equally real and can coexist, so it's not like I have to leave my own world in order to inhabit them. That's my ability, I guess. But this also means that these different worlds are also equally unreal , so I can't take anything too seriously. None of them take precedence over any others. The truth is, I get kind of bored with a lot of ordinary people. It's not that I think that I'm better than they are (if anything, I think they're probably better than I am, because it's easier for them to be happy and just live their lives, whereas for some reason I don't seem to be happy just living my life; it always feels like I'm looking for something new, not ordinary). Given that predisposition, I try to find people who don't seem familiar. This oftentimes puts me into something like that dreamworld I experienced as a kid, because the more extreme and exotic the experience and the more difficult the people, the more I learn, and the less remains that's not ordinary. Then even the process of searching for the exotic becomes a habit. Like a dream.

Extractions: Home What is a Turkish Backpack? Prague Writing Favorite Suicide Girl ... Contact The Prague Writers' Festival This year's Prague Writers' Festival was dedicated to Jean Genet, and the program includes the text of his May Day Speech in 1970, in which he recounts the time when he and some companions were boarding an airplane in the U.S. In the group, only one man was black, and he was the only one to face an invasive search of his luggage. The rest of the speech focused on race relations in America and, in an appendix which wasn't read on that day but had been written to accompany the speech, Genet declares that, "What they call American civilization will disappear." That speech in mind, it was interesting to attend the keynote conversation between Elmore Leonard and William T. Vollman, two very popular yet very different American authors. The climactic event, held Thursday afternoon, was moderated by the festival's organizer, sometime author, poet and translator Michael March. As a virgin attendee, I didn't know what to expect, but veterans were hoping for a car crash. I was told that Susan Sontag in 2000 was "visibly aggravated" by March's bumbling and rambling, while Salman Rushdie and Gore Vidal in 2001 were bewildered by his incoherence and disjointed questions.

Extractions: By Steve Kettmann Novelist William T. Vollmann, author of a dozen books including "The Rainbow Stories" and "An Afghanistan Picture Show," has a different perspective on the Taliban than most of us. Not only has he read the Quran at least twice, as he explained last year in a New Yorker article about the Taliban, he has also interviewed Taliban leaders face to face and spoken with many ordinary Afghans about the regime. His experience with Afghanistan goes back to the early '80s, when as a young writer he joined the mujahedin in the mountains for several weeks. He did not actually fight, he said Wednesday in a phone interview with Salon that is, he did not fire a gun "at anyone." But he was very much with the fighters in their struggle. Vollmann offered this sobering warning in that New Yorker piece: "Americans worry that Afghanistan has become a petri dish in which the germs of Islamic fanaticism are replicating soon Afghans will be hijacking American planes and bombing embassies everywhere. And their fears are not necessarily unfounded. The Taliban are unemployed war veterans, ready and even eager to return to the battlefield. 'In the nineteenth century, we beat the British more than once,' Afghans often told me. 'In the twentieth century, we beat the Russians. In the twenty-first, if we have to, we'll beat the Americans!'"
