Marlon James

Marlon James is the author of A Brief History of Seven Killings. From his Q & A with Brook Stephenson at the Gawker Review of Books:How did you get into writing? In a weird way, OutKast kind of did it. Just the idea that you could be an artist and have this body of work that's outside of you. Regardless of what happens to you there's this document. I wanted to make art that was outside of me.
