I Cannot Live Or Write

It Is My Belief That We As Human Beings Have A Need To Tell Stories - I Think It's Evolutionary. So You Can Think Of The Short Story As A Literary Form, Or You Can Instead Think Of Stories.

If You Can't Go Home, There Is Nowhere To Go, And Nowhere Is The Biggest Place In The World-indeed, Nowhere Is The World.

I Write And Read With The Assumption That Literature Contains Knowledge Of Human Experience That Is Not Available Otherwise.

Sometimes I Don't Write At All. Someone Once Asked Me, "what Do You Do When You're Not Writing?" And I Said, "i Idle."

Literature Is Always Something - It Is Either Story Or Poetry, Ideally Both. That Is, You Always Know What It Is And Even If The Interpretation Is Not Available, The Experience Of Language Is.
