If you're a writer, or if you're interested in the things that drive writers--what they think about, what motivates them or how they formulate a book--read this interview with young novelist, jonathan safran foer, author of Everything is Illuminated. It touches on so many things that interest me that I don't want to list them all, but I will say that, to me, it shows the importance of an encouraging mentor, discusses the foibles of writing for a living, and validates the opinion that you don't have to know what you want to do with your life at any given moment.
