I Like Dark Subject Matter. I'm Not

In My Earliest Memory, My Grandfather Is Bald As A Stone And He Takes Me To See The Tigers.

In The Mess Of Moving From Place To Place, I Skipped Two Grades In The Space Of One Year.

Being Taken Seriously, For A Young Writer, Is A Wonderful Form Of Encouragement, But At The Same Time, I Don't Think One Should Ever Feel Like Attempting A Kind Of Artistic Endeavor Is Beyond Your Scope Just Because Of Age Or Inexperience.

At The End Of The Day, Despite All The Other Great Things That Literature Does In Society And In A Person's Life, I Think That We Read To Escape. And I Think That Place, More Than Anything, Provides That Escape Quickly, If An Author Is Engaged With The Place.

For Me It Was A Lot Harder To Come To Terms With The Death Of My Grandfather Than It Was To Come To Terms With What's Happened To The Former Yugoslavia.
