I Believe In Choosing The Hardest Book

I Have Worked Really Hard To Defy Categorization, To Break Down A Taxonomy Whenever It Comes My Way.

Updike Worked This Way, And I Just Kinda Borrowed It From Him. So The Memoir Will Be Relief From Novel Writing For A Moment.

I Always Feel I Have Made Unfilmable Books. I Even Felt That Way About A Book Of Mine That Was Later Made Into A Movie. But My Wife, Who Has Made Two Films, Thinks This One Would Make A Very Original Film. I'm All For Original Films.

If I'm Going To Feel Estranged And Alienated And Away From Home I Don't Want Anyone Interrupting It To Debate Which Berries To Have In Their Pancakes.

Maybe When I'm Sixty-five I'll Talk About My Literary Life.
