Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

What makes a fulfilling relationship or fulfilling life is not simply found in another. It's found in a group of others.

Fiction Writers
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think that fiction writers can write about anyone. If you are writing a character, and the only thing they are to you is their otherness, then you haven't written a character.

Health
|
Nov 07, 2020

My father was a research doctor at the National Institutes of Health in the early 1980s, and you couldn't work in the field and not know about D. Carleton Gajdusek, who my father often mentioned.

Different Countries
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of the things I'm fascinated by as a traveler is watching how different countries control how they let the world encounter them.

Deserts
|

I think there are patterns of the aftermath of colonization that you see echoed in cultures and communities across the world.

Genius
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't think that genius goes hand in hand with being socially inept or being a sociopath or being a misanthrope, but I do think that it is a mind that can think so differently - so beyond how one is supposed to think.

The process of being a writer is much more interior than being a scientist, because science is so reactionary.

Nov 07, 2020

I think that all research scientists think of themselves as belonging to a grand tradition, building on work that has been worked on since the very beginning of science itself. Whereas I'm not sure writers think of themselves in the same way.

Any

Nov 07, 2020

I always wanted to be a scientist. I don't really have any writer friends.

Nov 07, 2020

We think of the 1950s as an oppressive time in the culture, and indeed it was, but it was also in many ways a more secular moment, and one in which great scientific achievements flourished. I don't want to get too gauzy about this, but there was much more respect for science as a necessary part of society.

Nov 07, 2020

You see a virus very differently when it's caught and suspended on a slab of glass than when you're observing how it's ravaged a fellow human being.

Hate
|
Nov 07, 2020

Misanthropy is born, I think, out of an almost oppressive sense of loneliness, a conviction that there's no one on earth who understands you. I don't think misanthropes hate people: They hate that people hate them.

Long
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think anything goes in fiction as long as it fits within the interior logic of the work itself and is presented in a disciplined manner.

Experience
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't believe in post-racial or post-gay or post-anything, but I do think within a certain group of friends, what matters less is the specificities of race and sexuality, and what matters more is the shared experience, shared language and shared cultural touch points.

Nov 07, 2020

What any writer hopes for is that the reader will stick with you to the end of the contract and that there is a level of submission on the reader's part.

Just
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of the writers I most admire is Hilary Mantel because in the middle of her career, she just changed paths entirely and became just a totally different novelist.

Complicit
|
Nov 07, 2020

Photography is always a kind of stealing. A theft from the subject. Artists are assaulters in a lot of ways, and the viewer is complicit in that assault.

Family
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have never wanted a family. I don't believe in marriage, though I obviously believe it should be legal for everyone who wants to do it. But it is not something I believe in, nor do the characters in my book, nor do any of my friends.

I Was Born
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was born in L.A., then we moved to Hawaii, then we moved to New York, then we moved to Baltimore, then we moved to California, then we moved to Hawaii, then we moved to Texas, then we moved to Hawaii, then we moved to California. This was before I was 17.
