Tin House magazine is a port in the storm for people who love language. It is unfailingly excellent, and committed to publishing new voices in addition to delivering freaky-fresh work from established writers Picture Quote #1

It really gets me when the critics say I haven’t done enough for the economy. I mean, look what I’ve done for the book publishing industry. You’ve heard some of the titles. ‘Big Lies,’ ‘The Lies of George W. Bush,’ ‘The Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.’ I’d like to tell you I’ve read each of these books, but that’d be a lie Picture Quote #1

I’m feeling more and more thoughts that aren’t songs, just reflections.

There are two ways to look at my publishing career. One is that I’m a novelist churning out books, who is eight into a series; the other way is that I’m a cartoonist, just starting out. Most cartoonists have long careers: Charles Schulz drew Peanuts for 50 years Picture Quote #1

Commerce is abusive. It’s very hobbling to always be saying, ‘Please let me put this out, this thing I’ve worked on for years.’ It’s like a nasty parent saying, ‘No! Now go to your room.’ As publishing companies got bigger, you felt even less significant Picture Quote #1
