A JAZZ CRITIC AND NOVELIST RIFFS ON POP CULTURE, POLITICS, AND SAVING AMERICA FROM NIHILISM AND P.C. STEREOTYPES.

TAE: Why make the center of Don't the Moon Look Lonesome? a white woman?

CROUCH: Why not? I wanted a challenge. Your ethnic or sexual identity, what region of the country you're from, what your class is--those aspects of your identity are not the same as your aesthetic identity.

That's why Leontyne Price is referred to a couple of times in the book. She's from Laurel, Mississippi; if you heard her talk, you might think she was the lead singer in somebody's choir at Shiloh Baptist, but you wouldn't imagine that she would be able to sing Puccini. Your aesthetic identity may not fit with what somebody thinks is your biographical identity.

TAE: Have you ever been to South Dakota?

CROUCH: Actually, no.

TAE: What do you think about interracial romance?
