I Was An Infinitely Hot And Dense

I Think As I Have Gotten Older, My Feelings About My Role In The Culture As A Writer, And Me Specifically, Has Changed, And Has Become More Degraded And Marginalized. This May Be A More Personal And Psychological Than A Sociological Insight, But I Feel More Vulnerable.

I Guess I Can Picture Things Once They're Done - I Just Can't Picture Actually Doing Them.

My Relationship With My Readers Is Somewhat Theatrical. One Of The Main Things I Try To Do In My Work Is Delight My Readers.

I Have An Enduring, Very Robust Infatuation With Dictators. I Have An Infatuation With Stalin, Mao, And Mussolini. In The Paris Review Interview I Did (in 2013), I Said My Next Book, This One, Was Going To Be About Mussolini. I Wound Up Only Having A Mussolini Cameo In The Book.

I've Always Been Entranced With Theater.
