I Can Be Glib And Truthful All

I've Never Written Nearly As Much About Place As People Seem To Think I Do. I Just Write About Class.

I Don't Think America Has Ever Had A Center The Way London Is The Center Of England Or Dublin Is The Center Of Ireland.

By Ignoring A Lot Of American Culture You Can Write More Interesting Stories. Unfortunately, If You Were Writing About America As It Is, You'd Be Writing About A Lot Of People Sitting In Front Of Television Sets.

A Lot Of My Characters In All Of My Books Have A Self-destructive Urge. They'll Do Precisely The Thing That They Know Is Wrong, Take A Perverse Delight In Doing The Wrong Thing.

I Just Have This Feeling That If It Weren't For The Gloversville Free Library That I Probably Would Not Be A Writer.
