This is old but still completely relevant, especially if you live in Toronto, or are planning on visiting there ever. TASTE T.O. interviews Pasha about his favorite restaurants.

Personally I have not been to Toronto. Maybe some day.

An interview with Pasha at WORD in anticipation of his previously-mentioned reading there in April. In the interview he states that he recently bought a copy of Brighton Rock for his friend Kevin. He is not talking about me. I have read Brighton Rock though.

Pasha Malla: Bookslut Indie Heartthrob

Pasha was interviewed by Bookslut as part of their Indie Heartthrob series.

They mainly discuss Withdrawal Method, but there’s some good background info on All Our Grandfathers Are Ghosts as well. I found it interesting, anyway.

Pasha in Thin Air

An interview with Pasha at Thin Air, the blog of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. They lob a few easy questions at him, nothing fancy. Pasha comes across as a regular guy. It’ll be interesting to see if that changes in interviews going forward, post- Giller Prize nomination.

Five Questions from Walrus Magazine

Good interview with Pasha in Walrus. They question him about his humor writing, and the difference between it and the stories collected in The Withdrawal Method, which is good because I’ve been thinking about that a lot as I make my way through the book. They also touch on his upcoming projects (novel, YA novel, poetry book).

Danforth Review Interview

The Danforth Review supplies a brief but insightful interview with our eponymous hero.

I don’t think you can teach writing to anyone, except maybe a monkey. Even then most of what monkeys write is total bullshit –not that what I’ve written is much better, but at least it’s fucking spell-checked.

Amen.
