Ben Lerner, at 47, is among the most prominent writers in America, a man trusted to steward two dying arts, the novel and the poem, even though he rejects the notion of the Great American Novel. “There’s this idea that someone at some point will write the novel that somehow crystallizes the American moment,” he tells Kevin Lozano. “And, in fact, there isn’t one book that’s going to do that. And there isn’t one writer who can stand for all writing or can stand for a generation.” “A sign of maturity as a writer, I realize now,” he continues, “is that I no longer pretend I understand what exactly my work is saying or doing.” He does know one thing for certain: “It’s not a fucking beach read.” Lerner’s latest, ‘Transcription,’ is a hybrid book that fuses the disparate interests of his poetry, fiction, and essays into a haunting story about fatherhood and middle age. “The conversation that unfolds is some of Lerner’s most brilliant and daring writing to date, a mad, oracular burst of speech — about technology, parenthood, and dreaming,” writes Lozano.
