As a novelist, I suppose I can say that I’m highly articulate. But I know, as a person, in other ways, I’m not always articulate. I think we are all, from time to time, inarticulate, at some level, about some things Picture Quote #1

To sing a song is quite different than to write a poem. I’m not and never will be a novelist, but to write a novel is not the same thing as writing a play. There is a difference in form, but essentially what you’re after is the same thing Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’m a natural novelist. Plot is definitely one of my weaker points. I’ve been working on it a long time, and it’s not getting much better Picture Quote #1

Nobody asks you to do this. The world out there is not panting after another novelist. We choose it Picture Quote #1

As a novelist, I mined my history, my family and my memory, but in a very specific way. Writing fiction, I never made use of experiences immediately as they happened. I needed to let things fester in my memory, mature and transmogrify into something meaningful Picture Quote #1

Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian Picture Quote #1

A novelist must know what his last chapter is going to say and one way or another work toward that last chapter.... To me it is utterly basic, yet it seems like it’s a great secret Picture Quote #1

The novelist has more and more to say to readers who have less and less time to read: where to find the energy to engage a culture in crisis when the crisis consists in the impossibility of engaging with the culture? Picture Quote #1

A movie will do in one second, with one image, what it will take a novelist at least a page to describe Picture Quote #1
