If You Want To Be Inventive, You

Word Of Mouth Is Very Powerful.

I'm Skeptical That The Novel Will Be "re­invented." If You Start Thinking About A Medical Textbook Or Something, Then, Yes, I Think That's Ripe For Reinvention. You Can Imagine Animations Of A Beating Heart. But I Think The Novel Will Thrive In Its Current Form. That Doesn't Mean That There Won't Be New Narrative Inventions As Well. But I Don't Think They'll Displace The Novel.

Where You Are Going To Spend Your Time And Your Energy Is One Of The Most Important Decisions You Get To Make In Life.

My Own View Is That Every Company Requires A Long-term View.

Failure Comes Part And Parcel With Invention. It’s Not Optional.
