Claudia’s novels are insightful, wondrous worlds where form dissolves and visceral incantations emerge. In the past, I’ve written recommendations for two of her books, Daughter and Heartbreaker.
She’s also a co-founder of HORSES Atelier, a recently closed fashion line that she now views like a massive art installation on thousands of bodies. As one of my favourite living authors, I was so pleased she agreed to chat with me.
Claudia’s husband Don Kerr has played in my band since 2016. If there’s an impending flood and we need to put two people on an arc to repopulate the Earth, they’d get my vote. They’re an inspiringly creative, benevolent, beautiful and emotionally super-intelligent power couple.
Among other things, we chat about:
farm breasts
being in the moment vs. capturing the moment
how a “monkish” discipline can help create great work
how being on the internet is like eating microwaved bacon
putting your ass in the chair
This episode features a surprise needle drop of “Animal Poem” by Anna Tivel.
