2. Steve: The most natural question to start an interview like this would
be: Is it strange interview yourself?
SK: Not at all! Most fiction writers are schizophrenic in nature. Which
makes us crazy, I guess, but it's crazy profitable.
Steve: Working in a novel?
SK: Yes, the first draft is almost done.
Steve: What's it called?
SK: Under The Dome. I tried to write it for the first time when he was
twenty years or so, but the concept was too big, and I put it aside.
Steve: It's long, too, right?
SK: Oh God. [Laughs] It's twice as long as Duma Key. Over 1500 pages
of manuscript. The first draft weighs 8.6 kilos. I have nightmares
about the study burning with the paper copy and the stick together
inside.
