Terry Gross. I Would Rush Home From

Reality, While Generally Probable, Is Not Always Interesting.

There's A Tradition In American Fiction That Is Deadly Serious And Earnest - Like The Steinbeckian Social Novel.

I Really Wouldn't Censor Myself. But Because It Was On Such A Slower Scale, I Would Throw Things Out, And I Indulged The Personal Stuff As Little Flashes Of Truth. Little In-jokes For Anyone Who Was Paying Particular Attention.

I Don't Wish To Brag, But I'm Very Intelligent.

Only The Nerds Will Save The Earth.
