I'm A Novelist, Not A Social Scientist

I'm Waiting For The Day When My Children Cease To Find My Domestic Propriety Reassuring And Actually Find It Annoying.

It Is Living, Not Thinking, As A Feminist That Has Become The Challenge.

I'm A Novelist, Not A Social Scientist Or A Commentator.

There Are Certain Types Of Slightly Hysterical Human Characters Who, Rather Than Creating, Walk Around With A Sense Of Their Own Potential - It's As If They Themselves Were Art Objects. They Feel As If Their Lives Are Written Narratives, Or Pieces Of Music.

A Sentence Is Born Into This World Neither Good Nor Bad, And That To Establish Its Character Is A Question Of The Subtlest Possible Adjustments, A Process Of Intuition To Which Exaggeration And Force Are Fatal.
