00:00In Nash's work, ink and blood remain inseparable.
00:12His prose hits the white page as if spattered from a slashed throat.
00:18I've been in talks with a publisher about writing a biography of you.
00:24How did it go with Luther Nash?
00:26I'll convince him.
00:28Well, if he isn't participating, is it worth badgering him?
00:31Do I look like that important of a man?
00:34You are.
00:36Your words are, anyway.
00:41That your wife?
00:43Yes, and my little boy.
00:45Lisa, would you mind accompanying your husband for these interviews?
00:50Because you're a breath of fresh air.
00:53Oh.
00:56Admit it.
00:58I can be an asset to this book.
01:02My book.
01:06Now, in your postscript, you wrote that violence is itself literary.
01:12It has structure, plot, and characters.
01:15Most importantly, it has an author.
01:18Luther Nash understands that crime can manifest from almost nothing.
01:24Two people are fighting in an empty field when one of them raises a rock.
01:31You may not understand literature or violence.
01:41I started a short story this week.
01:44And the main character is not like you.
01:49That's why Luther has been so successful.
01:53He recognizes, he makes us recognize the primal in ourselves.
