Alan Moore on Writing, Magic, and the Hidden History of London

View descriptionShare
 

Alan Moore has just finished writing Book 3 of his Long London Quintet — and he sat down with Rosie to talk about it. In a wide-ranging conversation, the legendary writer of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell takes us into "the other London": the hidden city of lost magicians, gangsters, and forgotten showmen that runs beneath the one everyone else sees. They get into why he declared himself a magician in 1993 and then had to live up to it, why prose is the most elegant art form ever invented, why he's done with comics (again), and what the riots of 1968 have to teach us right now. He closes with a message for these times: love and fight.
