The past is open to all sorts of magical possibilities because it can't be verified. It's as we make it, so it seems to be entirely free. It seems to be completely up for grabs. But of course it's not.
- Balance

It's quite difficult to write about female friendship without it seeming to be a very niche subject. It's a difficult balance.

There are many ways to go about a story. And if you give yourself some formal constraints, it just makes the job so much - maybe 'easier' isn't the right word, but because you know your boundaries, you can just play within those boundaries much more, so it's much more fun to do.

I think we often live at a surface level, and that ends up with us in a lot of difficulty because we just function on assumptions and secondhand knowledge.
- Me

One of the things the novel can do is address big questions in ways that are accessible to people. It's not that I want to teach people, but these are the things that interest me, and this is my medium for exploring ideas, and I think the potential of novels to do that is massive.
- Annoying

- Nov 07, 2020
Socrates, after all, could be an intensely annoying man, all the time questioning passers-by until they became exasperated.
- Children

- Nov 07, 2020
Common perceptions of female friendships are morning coffees discussing children, bags, periods and agreeing about the misdemeanours of men... mild, soft, nurturing relationships.

Being published is a bit like being entered into a race you don't even want to run, but, once running, can't help but not want to lose.

One of the most unsettling things about 'Monologue' is its long silences, in which the man sits alone, staring into the middle distance, without grip of his narrative, lost to the past.

- Nov 07, 2020
Monologues are self-verifying and self-referencing, a world in their own right, one with its own internal logic that strengthens with reiteration.

As the U.S., much of Europe, and the U.K. shift toward the political right, the rhetoric grows more insular, defensive, and protective.
- Down

- Nov 07, 2020
Down on the ground, we seem to do anything but make lengthy, robust monologues. We can communicate in an instant almost anywhere. Gone is the slow old letter - itself a monologue, a sort of considered performance of best self - and in its place is the e-mail, the text, the SMS, the tweet.

I conceived 'All Is Song' as a modernised, loosely interpreted version of Socrates's life.
- Freedom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We see book-burning as a crime against humanity: it's intolerable because books represent a kind of freedom to us.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When there's change, and people fear things, they become more dogmatic in their views. They lash out: you can see it in the media, scapegoating and penal sentencing.
- Song
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'All Is Song,' I tried to construct a very traditional narrative that pulls no tricks.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Japanese have different words for love. To them, it's plain weird that we love spaghetti and love our children and love our lovers, all with the same word, when surely the thing being described as love is radically different in each case.
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When we fall in love, we feel that this person is ours and we are theirs by our mutual volition, and we know they could leave - we know that because they are free, and their freedom is part of the thrill.
- Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We use the same possessive pronouns for everything, but do we own our lives or sisters or husbands in the same way we own our shoes? Do we own any of them at all?
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My sister is my sister regardless - has always been and always will be and has no choice about it. This is a love quite distinct from that of a lover, with whom we fall in love, in part, because they are free and have a choice.
