It's So Internalized, The Way Your Mind

I Like To Blur The Line Between Fact And Fiction, But Not To Condescend To The Reader By Enmeshing Her/him Into Some Sort Of A Postmodern Coop.

I Wanted Us To Share The Sense That The Number Of Wrong Moves Far Exceeds The Number Of Good Moves, To Share The Frightening Instability Of The Correct Decision, To Bond In Being Confounded.

You Have To Suspend Thinking In Narratives. The Moment You Are Conscious Of Yourself The Gap Opens Up. And In This Gap, Stories Are Generated.

I Think About The Story While I Think About Other Things. This Is An Important Part Of The Process: I Look At It Sideways. If I Look Straight At It, It Produces Nothing Other Than What Seem Like Complicated, Brilliant Designs That Fall Apart The Following Morning. In Some Way Stories Mature When You're Not Looking.

Whatever Solidarity I Have Established With Other Writers Individually, It Is Usually Organized Around Books. We Connected As Readers, As It Were, Not Writers.
