I Don't Think Of Myself As A

At Princeton I Wrote My Junior Paper On Virginia Woolf, And For My Senior Thesis I Wrote On Samuel Beckett. I Wrote Some About "between The Acts" And "mrs. Dalloway'' But Mostly About "to The Lighthouse." With Beckett I Focused, Perversely, On His Novels, "molloy," "malone Dies," And "the Unnamable." That's When I Decided I Should Never Write Again.

I'm A Big Philip Roth Fan. I Think "american Pastoral" Is The Great American Novel Of The Past 30 To 40 Years. It's A Novel About What Happened In The 1960s, And I Think America Is Still Dealing With What Happened Then. It's Devastatingly Sad.

I'm Very Proud Of My Scottish Blood.
