Title: A review of Doctorow segment only Pleasant
Product review: E.L. Doctorow comes to talk about his novel 'Waterworks'. It is set in nineteenth century New York. Rose mentions that Doctorow's novels set in different times and places in the history of the City seem to constitute a special kind of history of it. Doctorow who appears very staid and calm says that this did not happen intentionally. He speaks about his own artistic process in which the artist follows and shapes what emerges, not what is strictly planned. Doctorow appears somehow more sombre than I had imagined him. Rose asks him questions which not always relaly connect with his intention and direction in thought. It turns out he was named after Poe, and that Poe has had a shaping hand in this fiction. Doctorow suprises by not having brilliance or hunger as part of his personality. This is a pleasant segment.
