Pittsburgh’s fearless features reporter Rege Behe asked Emily St. John Mandel a few “Littsburgh Questions” after his recent interview with her for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review — look for that feature in the Trib later this week!
And be sure to catch Mandel at Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures on Monday, February 15th.
We’ll be giving away two tickets to this event — follow Littsburgh on Facebook and Twitter for more on that announcement (coming soon!).
What comes to mind when you think of Pittsburgh?
I think about steel bridges and a Michael Chabon novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, that I’ve been meaning to read for ages.
What books are on your nightstand?
Just one. David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest.
Is there a book you’d like to see made into a film?
I’d love to see Benjamin Wood’s latest novel, The Ecliptic, made into a film. It’s a fantastic book and I think it would work beautifully on the screen.
