I read like an animal. I read under the covers, I read lying in the grass, I read at the dinner table. While other people were talking to me, I read.

I used to think that if I had a choice between writing well and living well, I would choose the former. But now I think that's sheer lunacy. Writing weighs so much less, in the great cosmic equation, than living.

What interests me in writing a novel is taking really remote voices, characters, and stories and beginning to create some kind of web.

I take almost no notes when I write. I have one notebook - this old green leather notebook that my dad gave me a decade ago.
- Man

- Nov 07, 2020
My first novel, 'Man Walks Into a Room,' is about a man who's lost his memory and has to start a second life. On one level, it's about how we create a coherent sense of self.

To me, this is the singular privilege of reading literature: we are allowed to step into another's life.
- Nostalgia

- Nov 07, 2020
When the word 'nostalgia' was coined in the 18th century, it was used to describe a pathology - not so much a sense of lost time, but a severe homesickness.
- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
Getting a book published made me feel a little bit sad. I felt driven by the need to write a book, rather than the need to write. I needed to figure out what was important to me as a writer.

I'm very interested in structure, how multiple stories are assembled in different ways; that is what memory does as well.

That powers my desire to write: the sense of how quickly everything on the surface of life can be cut away and you can suddenly be inside the most inner part of the most inner life of a person. What does it feel like there, and what are the regrets and sensations and longings, and what is the music of it?
- Always

- Nov 07, 2020
I have always written about characters who fall somewhere in the spectrum between solitary and totally alienated.
