I Am Just Like Everybody Else...because There

I Resist When Someone Calls Me A Novelist: It Implies Some Kind Of Inherent Superiority Of The Novel. I'm Not A Novelist, I'm A Writer.

Lord, Why Did You Leave Me In These Woods?

I Have Been On The Margins In Terms Of Having To Find A Place To Live And Getting A Job, But At Some Point, And Before That Point, I Always Thought No Matter Where I Am, That's The Center.

I Did Not Intend To Stay; I Had No Experience In The United States - I May Have Been Here Less Than 24 Hours - But I Knew I Would Never Get Inside There. And 'there' Not Being America Necessarily, But That Harmonious Mode Of Living That Some People Are Lucky Enough To Have In This Country.

The Balls Do Not Make A Writer.
