       But hush. Be a mouth     that stays soft. Be careful to call yourself     lucky. Open your eyes, little girl. Nobody looks     like you.

An Interview with Jim Lynch
Tumblr media
On Thursday, May 26th at 7pm, acclaimed Northwest writer Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide, Border Songs, and Truth Like the Sun, returns to his Mercer Island roots. He’ll be at Island Books to discuss his new novel Before the Wind, a funny, big-hearted story about a grand and idiosyncratic family obsessed with sailing. It's also about online dating and Albert Einstein. Set in Seattle, Victoria, and Olympia, much of the novel unfolds on the water in this two-decade odyssey of the Johannssen family.
Jim has visited us before and we’re delighted he has a new book to share. In preparation for the event, he was gracious enough to answer some of my questions. I hope his answers are as intriguing to you as they were to me and that’ll you’ll be motivated to join us and meet him in person. 
–Miriam
__________________________________________________
Island Books: People have said Before the Wind is the book you were born to write. Did it turn out to be what you originally set out to create?
Jim Lynch: Given my upbringing, I’ve always known I’d eventually try to write something like Before the Wind. At least I’ve known since my late teens that I wanted to build a novel with sailing at its core and subsequently wanted to write a novel about a gifted and volatile family. My other novels were ideas that came to me. This one was in my bones all along.
Island Books: What other titles did you consider besides Before the Wind? What is the meaning of the title?
Jim Lynch: Sailing Junkies and other bad titles came to me early on, but ever since I wrote down Before the Wind I knew it was the one. Sailing “before the wind” is a term used for downwind sailing, when the wind is coming from directly behind the boat. It is often the most relaxing direction to be sailing with the least amount of tipping and drama. Yet in high winds it can also be the most precarious. Also, I just like the way the three words sound like the beginning of a story and fit with the crescendo of mine.
Island Books: How are the dynamics of the Johannssen family similar to your own family and how are they different? Being that sailing is so close to you and your upbringing, how did your family feel about your focus on the subject? 
Jim Lynch: The Johnannssens are very different than the Lynches but some family traits and experiences are sprinkled throughout the novel, including the fact that my dad was a sailing fanatic, my mom saw the world through a scientific lens, and my sister was an extraordinary red-headed athlete. My family has, fortunately, embraced the book.
Island Books: How do you expect readers to react to the online dating segments of the book? Do you believe online dating can work?
Jim Lynch: Sure, online dating works well for many. But that material just didn’t fit my character and isn’t as rich as the blooper reels of online dating that I wanted to have fun with.
Island Books: Are you as funny in person as you come across in your writing? Tell us how you came up with the section about the Viagra commercial that confusingly features a middle-aged man alone on a boat.
Jim Lynch: I don’t set out to be funny, but when the material naturally goes in that direction and starts cracking me up, I don’t cut it out. I will happily explain the Viagra commercial breakdown when I visit your store.
Island Books: You have an amazing ability to bring the atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest to life. Besides being on the water, what is your favorite thing about living here?
Jim Lynch: It’s hard to think of your homeland as exotic, but the Northwest landscape is. I didn’t fully appreciate western Washington until I moved away for a dozen years. All this fresh air and deep water, massive mountains and towering trees have an effect on us all whether we’re aware of it or not. So when I set stories out here I can’t leave the landscape out.
Island Books: Do you usually know how your books will end when you begin? Which part of Before the Wind did you write last? Was there anything significant in your original draft that you edited out?
Jim Lynch: It went through so many drafts it’s hard for me to remember the nuances of what I cut. Endings usually come to me early but then they often need to be re-thought as the story and characters evolve. Coming up with the ending for Before the Wind wasn’t the hard part. Getting to know the characters well enough to make them jump off the page was what took the most time.
Island Books: Which authors do you use as inspiration and are there other books that have particularly influenced your own writing?
Jim Lynch: So many authors have influenced me. The question is at what age. For this novel, I thought a lot about family novels—J.D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey, Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion, Norman MaClean’s A River Runs Through It, Jane Smiley’s A Thousand Acres, and so on.
Island Books: Which of the books that you've written is your favorite? Do you have a favorite line or passage you've written that you're particularly proud of (in any of your books)? 
Jim Lynch: I love all my children equally. But Before the Wind is my most personal book and my favorite right now. Admittedly, I like many of my lines, particularly the simple ones such as when I described Olympia’s calm bays as a place “where the Pacific Ocean comes to relax.”
Island Books: What is the sailboat you bought and turned into a writing office like? Where do you sail it when you're writing or do you keep it moored? Does it have a name and would you be willing to share a picture?
Jim Lynch: For sailing aficionados, it’s a 1977 C&C 38 called “Alcyone” (the daughter of the Greek god of wind.) She’s moored at an Olympia marina where I crawl inside and write at the dock. (photo below)
Tumblr media
Island Books: Tell us about growing up on Mercer Island. Do you have any fun Mercer Island anecdotes?
Jim Lynch: What stands out for me are all the wild adventures on the water and in the south end woodlands with my friends. Pioneer Park seemed like a vast wonderland back then. Anecdotes from my childhood on “the rock”? Here’s one: Jeanie Carter, my terrific third grade teacher at Lakeridge Elementary, read Where the Red Fern Grows aloud to us. Then she surprised us by leading us to the school library where the author, Wilson Rawls, stood waiting to explain in his thick Oklahoma accent how he wrote that book without knowing anything about grammar or punctuation. That experience set me on a reading and, eventually, a writing binge that probably had a lot to do with shaping my life.
Thanks for all the great questions. Looking forward to my Island Books visit!
