We Invent What We Love And What

There Are Always Suicides Among People Who Are Unable To Say What They Mean.

The Building Of The Architecture Of A Novel - The Craft Of It - Is Something I Never Tire Of.

You Can't Learn Everything You Need To Know Legally.

Every American Should Be Forced To Live Outside The United States For A Year Or Two. Americans Should Be Forced To See How Ridiculous They Appear To The Rest Of The World! They Should Listen To Someone Else's Version Of Themselves--to Anyone Else's Version! Every Country Knows More About America Than Americans Know About Themselves! And Americans Know Absolutely Nothing About Any Other Country!

A Novel Is A Piece Of Architecture. It's Not Random Wallowings Or Confessional Diaries. It's A Building-it Has To Have Walls And Floors And The Bathrooms Have To Work.
