I Do Not Think We Remember Our

I Have No Place Left To Live But In My Own Heart.

For 10 Or 11 Years, I Had My Kids, I Wrote Four Or Five Books, And I Was Working All The Damn Time.

I'm Quite Interested In The Absolute Roots Of Narrative, Why We Tell Stories At All: Where The Monsters Come From.

And, In Fact, This Is The Tale That I Would Love To Write: History Is Such A Romantic Place, With Its Jarveys And Urchins And Side-buttoned Boots. If It Would Just Stay Still, I Think, And Settle Down. If It Would Just Stop Sliding Around In My Head.

Story Is About Pulling The Reader In And A Plot Is A More Externalized Mechanism Of Revelation. A Plot Is More Antic, More Performative, And Less Intimate. When You're Telling A Story You're Telling It Into Someone's Ear.
