Ask The Author: Aubrey Hirsch
[admin / February 8th, 2011 / Interviews ]At AWP 2011, I met Aubrey Hirsch, author of the story “Hydrogen Event In A Bubble Chamber” published in the May 2010 issue. Aubrey informed me over drinks that I did not interview her for that issue and after some digging, she was right. To correct this awful error, I conducted PANK’s first ever video interview in the host hotel lobby with this wonderful writer. I’ve transcribed the questions. Hit Play below each question to hear Aubrey’s answers.*
1. What are the benefits of giving birth in reverse?
2. How do you like to disappear?
3. What was the research process when putting together “Hydrogen Event In A Bubble Chamber”
4. What are the economic benefits in holding a degree in Philosophy?
5. How do you detect skepticism?
6. How would you define a “black hole” as a sexual position?

[...] I am psyched to link to my very belated, but totally awesome, PANK (video!) interview. With big thanks to J. Bradley for his brilliant idea and also for caring about the oversight [...]
Glad this interview lead me back to Aubrey’s story. I’d missed it in a gReader purge or something. Freaking incredible story.
What a charming interview.
Thanks Aubrey, thanks J. Bradley.
