Meet Aram Schefrin, author of Marwan: The Autobiography of a 9/11 Terrorist

Blurb/summary of book An Egyptian city planner, a timid Saudi pilot, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex, not Allah, and a young Lebanese student who had gone to a Christian school: How did these very different men with very different ideas come to fly the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it?

Do you set writing goals and write them down?

I know what I want the book to accomplish. I don’t write it down. Once I start writing, I may make notes to remind of things I have to do.

 

Do you set goals for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life with specific action steps and deadlines?

No.

 

What aspects of your own life are woven into your book?

Not much in this book, other than my keen interest in a particular approach to knowledge. Of course, when I am developing a character, where it is consistent I may include my own thoughts and feelings.

 

How do you spark your creativity?

Reading and thinking give me ideas for books. Somehow I just know when I’m going to have a particularly good day writing.

 

How do you relax?

I’m always doing something. It’s when I’m not that I get tense.

 

What do you enjoy doing with friends?

Talking about things other than ourselves.

 

What quality do you most desire to develop in yourself as a person?

Patience.

 

What themes and/or issues predominate in your work?

I like to humanize people who have been demonized. I think what makes a writer is the ability to see beyond black and white.

 

What is better about your life now than it was 5 years ago?

Nothing. I was very happy then and I’m very happy now.

 

What was the most important lesson you learned about yourself as a person during the writing of your book?

How ecstatic I get when the creative juices are flowing.
