Official Interview: Jorge P. Newbery

[Kansas City Teacher]

I really enjoyed Burn Zones. I can see Mr. Newbery sitting with Henry Ford and chatting about their lives....

[Aditi Sapate]

Jorge P Newbery has written one of my favourite non-fiction books. It really does read like a story. And true, when I saw the cover, I thought the book was about cyclic too.

Loved the interview. Keep it up

[HeatherEi]

I read both of his books and loved them! I am glad I stumbled on this interview.

Wonderful interview! Being a writer has its drawbacks. We can let Jorge know that the same thing happens to us on the other end when we spend too much time reading!! I appreciated the information about sharing the book in exchange for a review.

JPN: I have to constantly remind myself to write badly. That's the only way I can get the words out. If I try to write well, the non-creative side of my mind stops the flow of words. So I write badly, let the words flow freely, and fix it up in editing.

Ahhh, words to live by.

I'm fascinated by this man! I suspect he may not have been the easiest person to interview because he is so literal and focussed. But I love that he played the the "dinner party" game. I had no idea of Henry Ford's views on family debt. I think I'd quite like to have Jorge at one of my dinner parties:-)

Great interview! I'd also want to have dinner with Walt Disney. Different reasons though, he seemed like a really friendly guy with a bit of cheek.

It’s an interesting interview to read after reading his book. In Burn Zones you get a real sense of his personality.

After reading Burn Zones, I really desired to meet Newbery(if fate wills) and with this interview, I'm closer.
Great interview!
