Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
M:(1)National Book Award winner Alice McDermott has written her first new novel in seven years. Titled "Someone" , it’s a finely drawn account of one ordinary woman’s seemingly unremarkable life. Welcome here! Could you introduce something about your book?
W: I understood that this was a character who in her own life her voice hadn’t much been heard and in literature her life isn’t much heard, so...
M: You were conscious of that or thinking about that, yes?
W: Yes. Yes. So, for me, it was resisting all the more appealing characters and listening to the voice that hadn’t been much heard from.
M:(2)I have read that this story began as something bigger, that I think you referred to another interview as a teeming novel you were working on, and somehow it was scaled down to the story of this one, again, quoting you, remarkable woman.
W: That’s right. Yes. Yes.
M: That’s true?
W: Yes. Well, the sense of her voice alone, to give the entire novel to her voice, to her character, to the way she sees things and doesn’t see things, to hear her voice, the way she uses language.(3)She’s a shy child-She’s a plain woman, yes, an unremarkable, unremarkable on the surface character, but with a very active internal life. And I wanted to capture that.
M: And where does she come from? There are some connections, family connections to your own life in—at least your parents’ life in Brooklyn, right?
W: Sure.
M: Irish Catholics?
W: Absolutely, yes. My parents were both first-generation Irish Catholics raised in Brooklyn. But it was more for me—(4)it was that women of that generation were even less likely to express themselves, more likely to have that active interior life that they didn’t dare speak out.(5)So I was interested in women of that era. I was interested in the language of that era. There’s so much. And, certainly, this is cultural, so much there wasn’t spoken about.
This is the end of Part One of the interview.
