The other four you’ll never see, ‘cause they’re terrible. Of those early five one of them I went back and fixed, and brought that out and published it in Germany, and we’re finally publishing it in the United States and that book is called, in German it’s called “Sarg niemals nie”, in America it’s “A Night of Blacker Darkness”. I wrote five books, which were terrible, before finally writing serial killer, number six. When I got to college – that’s when I finally decided: I’m gonna do this real and I’m gonna do this professionally. And so I started writing short stories, I started writing comic books, I wrote poetry, I wrote novels, and a lot of them are terrible.
Yes! I actually told my parents in second grade, so about eight years old, that I wanted to be an author. Did you write anything that was a disaster and never wanted to see it again? Tell us about your first writing attempts. I miss being able to give my kid some money and say: “Go down to the bakery and get some bread for dinner.” And you can’t really do that in America, because you live so far away from everything you have to drive, so… Little, simple things like that are what I love about Europe. You have really good trains and buses, public transportation. One of the things I miss the most about Europe, and Germany and Hungary are great examples, is that everything’s close and it’s easy to get around. When I’m here I miss America, and when I’m in America, I miss Europe. I love them both, and that’s part of the problem, is that now, no matter where I live I’ll never be happy again. How do you see, what are the fundamental differences between Europe and the United States, and which continent do you prefer? You have lived in Germany for a while and now you’ve seen Hungary as well. I should also say I ate “ tepsis csülök” which was wonderful but they brought it out in this giant thing, and it was way too much, and I ate maybe two thirds of it and I don’t think I have to eat again for the next month. It’s a beautiful country, and I’m very sad that I only have – what, twelve hours before I have to leave? So… But I’ll be back, I’m coming back. After the other night, the next day we went to Esztergom and on the way there, the Pázmány Péter University to just see some amazing architecture and amazing cities. What did you learn about us? Any good or bad experiences?ĭan Wells: Everything’s been great. SFmag.hu: This question was asked the other night, but now you had the chance to see more of Budapest (maybe other parts of the country?).
So two of our writers, Balázs Farkas and Ádám Sárpátki took the chance and interviewed him about his books, Writing Excuses and board games. This October, Fumax invited Dan Wells to visit Budapest.
