What should I ask Benjamin Moser?

Yes I will be doing a Conversation with him.  Here is one outdated bit from his home page:

Benjamin Moser was born in Houston. He is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, a finalist for the National Book Critics’ Circle Award and a New York Times Notable Book of 2009. For his work bringing Clarice Lispector to international prominence, he received Brazil’s first State Prize for Cultural Diplomacy. He won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017and his latest book, Sontag: Her Life and Workwon the Pulitzer Prize.

I am a big fan of his new book on the Dutch painters, The Upside-Down World: Meetings with Dutch Masters.  He lives in Utrecht and is also an expert on Brazil.  Here is his Wikipedia page.  Here are other assorted writings by him.

So what should I ask him?
