Talk Show Host:
You've written about the American negro, the French intellectual, the Southern romantic...
Roebuck Wright:
And the anti-negro.
Talk Show Host:
The anti-negro. Scripture, mythology, folklore, true crime, false crime, the ghost story, the picaresque, the bildungsroman. But more than anything, over all these years, you've written about food. Why?
Roebuck Wright:
Who? What? Where? When? How? Valid questions, but I learned as a cub stringer, never, under any circumstance, if it is remotely within your power to resist the impulse, never ask a man why. It - it tightens a fellow up.
Talk Show Host:
I apologize, but I'm going to hold you to it...
Roebuck Wright:
Torture.
Talk Show Host:
...if you'll agree.
Roebuck Wright:
Self-reflection is a vice best conducted in private or not at all.
