• Chris Power on starting his writing career, creative processes and ...

  Chris Power is a writer, critic and broadcaster. He has published his debut short story collection, Mothers, in 2019, followed by his first novel, A Lonely Man, in early 2021. Joined by an enthusiastic group of students and staff at Falmouth Campus’ Lighthouse for an early Monday morning start, Chris Power chatted with Clare Howdle about generating ideas, finding inspiration, and reassured us that he too finds the writing process hard. [...] Whilst writing this short story, he was also running a reviewing series for The Guardian, ‘A brief survey of the short story’, looking at a different short story writer each week. As well as providing him with an income, he told us, it also taught him about how others write, and how he was able to apply this to his own work. Eventually he was able to compile a collection of ten short stories onto a collection called Mothers. [...] Moving on from this discussion, Clare pointed out the parallels between Chris’ own life and his protagonist Robert. Both are writers struggling to find inspiration, both having published short stories, both doing research on Putin’s Russia. With a chuckle, Chris revealed that he was also thinking about moving to berlin at one point with his wife, and that he sometimes considers The Lonely Man being an exploration of what might have happened if that had gone ahead.
