Is there a canonical book you think is overrated? I watched the film my book was based on when I was sixteen or so, so I guess about thirteen years? Though I didn’t give myself permission to write about it until a good eight years later, and it took me a couple of years to get a draft together after that, and another 9 months or so of revisions with an agent after that, and then my editor and I worked on it a lot too…it took a lot of forms, and it’s still hard for me to pin down a concrete beginning and end point. How long was this project marinating in a draft or in your head before it became a book deal? Pretty much the same thing, though I maybe don’t add that the original film co-starred a male porn star. What do you tell your relatives it’s about?
(I have said this exact sentence more times than I can count). We Eat Our Own is about the making of a horror film in the Amazon rainforest in the late seventies, loosely based on true events.
