    GALO (for: Global Art Laid Out) just published <a href="http://www.galomagazine.com/artculture/marcus-speh-birkenkrahe-the-german-who-writes-in-english/">an interview with me</a>. It was conducted by writer and musician <a href="http://www.fictionaut.com/users/tim-young">Tim Young</a> over Skype with him sitting in his Manhattan apartment and me in Berlin.

    This is a raw and raucous transcript of our conversation...and there are no more secrets as far as I'm concerned for the rest of this decade. Many thanks to Tim who asked marvelous questions and created a wonderful atmosphere for this exchange.

    Unfortunately, Tim cut out all the bits where I talked about his own work, which is wonderful. Check it out here on Fictionaut or <a href="http://redlemona.de/author/tim-young-0">at Red Lemonade</a>. Thanks for reading, folks.

    Just read it, Marcus. What a fascinating life you're carving out for yourself. The questions were well developed and the answers revealing. Good luck with the novel in 2012.

    Loved this interview, Marcus. I had to laugh when he put you on the spot with Beatles or Stones, but you are sly, my friend.Pink Floyd. I feel I know way more about you now than I ever thought I would or could--you are one amazing human being there, pal! Seriously, what a life.And we are the lucky ones for it, getting to enjoy your wonderful stories. Write on.I like being in the world at the same time. Makes me happier just knowing you're out there.
