Garry Wills Conversation 2022

Time markers below One of the most prolific and incisive US writers from the 1960s to the 2010s, Garry Wills commanded an immense topical range, running from ancient Greek drama to modern history, politics, religion, art, and culture. For this interview, I sent him a list of questions in advance, leaving aside those he has answered many times in print, such as, "are you a liberal or conservative?" or "why do you remain a Catholic when you're so critical of the Catholic Church?" I intend my queries about his family, his work, his themes and heroes to help future writers make better sense of this highly idiosyncratic career. My thanks to Garry Wills and his son John for arranging the interview, and to filmmaker Rubidium Wu for creating the video. 00:01 Opening Comment by Richard Fox [email protected] 1:04 Wills's love of opera (Todd Duncan, Rosa Ponselle) 9:36 Opera in his family (his wife Natalie and her mother Lydia Cavallo) 12:51 Wills the translator (St. Augustine, St. Jerome, St. Peter, St. Paul) 19:31.
