“I’m looking for my girlfriend but
we can do the interview meanwhile”. This is the answer Christopher Priest gives
us when we ask him if we can cross a few words. But what should have been a
short interview turns into a thirty-minute conversation where we dig into the
universe of this acclaimed science fiction writer. Adria’s News talks to the author
of The Prestige in the Celsius 232Festival of Avilés to discover why he doesn’t want to work with Christopher
Nolan again, why he abandoned a Doctor Who project and why he hates the writer James Christopher Owsley so much.
As you’ll see shortly, he doesn’t mince his words.
