Great interview. The best is where the interviewer gets Nic to talk about what his bad writing looks like. There we get to see the process and how he thinks about composition.
What's happening with that guy, the host of this class, Dan Harmon? He doesn't have even one single straight thought, on which he is clear, he cannot express himself in one straightforward question. Do not have neither clear concept in his mind, nor he can express himself properly! Bravo for Nic!
I have read some weird fiction, had a period on it, read Lovecraft (also Supernatural Horror in Literature) and others, but never got to to The King in Yellow by Chambers given that his importance rests most on that particular work, so in a writers gathering does everybody already know why he took parts of such an old classic, what inspired him to these references what resonated in him, or just real literary questions got shoved out to talk about how you got into HBO. This is my first time hearing Pizzolatto talk and I think he's sharp, clearly a complete writer and I like his approach to each question. Seeing the first season of True Detective only a month ago we can tell that we'll be enyoing many great works ahead. Good for his success. Great story about the unpublished novel that felt like a great Cathedral of thought with no people inside it. Every writer comes to that story and sees its flaws within time.
Nic Pizzolatto, in addition to being my personal literary hero, and having created a show that is possessed by absolute genius, is one of the most intelligent human beings alive. His unapologetic dedication to the truth is so brilliant and counters our entire culture's instincts. In this interview, he displays such a relevance, a prescience, a beautiful loyalty to good art and a noble aversion to the opposite. Rarely can I sit through an hour of an author being interviewed, often because it is equivalent to a circle jerk….Pizzolatto is a dangerously rare genius and like I hope we are blessed enough to have him stick around on this earth longer than say two of his historical peers, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Kurt Cobain…I don't ever want to have to wonder what Nic would have created had he still been alive….True Detective Season 2? I'm like a junky who has to wait another half a year to get his fix!
This man is so fucking smart. Shit.
Fuck you Nic, you stole from Thomas Ligotti`s "the conspiracy against the human race".
Great interview. The best is where the interviewer gets Nic to talk about what his bad writing looks like. There we get to see the process and how he thinks about composition.
Nic looks a bit like The Tallest man on earth
He's Hank Moody.

Jesus Christ, has this Dan Harmon guy had a fucking stroke or something? Most of the times he's talking it's just "Uuuurrrrr…". Fuck me.
I like True Detective but Nick is annoying as shit.
'You mean do I feel like I'm forging within the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race?'
'I think that's what I'm asking'
Hahaha this is the best interview ever.

@8:00 ..college in a nutshell
What a brilliant man!
Let's take a moment and realize that the creator of true detective watches rick and morty…I'm smiling right now more than I ever have…
Dan Harmon (Community) interviews Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective).
I wish they'd write a show together. I wonder how that would work ahaha
