Guillermo Arriaga: "You are your decisions"

By Michael Guillén

"In our daily basis we never go linear."

A slightly different version of this first part of Michael Guillén's conversation
with Guillermo Arriaga appeared at The Evening Class this summer.
Look for a second part when Babel opens wide in two weeks.

During his recent Bay Area promotion of the Simon and Schuster publication of The Night Buffalo, I met up Guillermo Arriaga to discuss the novel and his screenplays. After introducing myself, he asked about my family name, where my family was from and queried whether I knew that I shared the name Guillén with the Subcomandante Marcos. Of course, I smiled, my friends always wonder where I go when I'm missing for weeks at a time. He laughed. Our brief conversation was engaging and a bit unnerving as Guillermo never once averted his gaze. He has a shaman's piercing stare.

Before we focus on The Night Buffalo, I want to congratulate you on your wins at Cannes, last year for the screenplay for The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and then this year for Babel; I understand it did very well.

Thank you very much.

The Night Buffalo. This is your first novel published in the United States?

Yes, it's my first novel.

But it's actually the third novel you've written?

Yes, it's my third novel and I wrote all of my books before writing screenplays.
