I Think Of Memory As A Game,

My Relationship With My Readers Is Somewhat Theatrical. One Of The Main Things I Try To Do In My Work Is Delight My Readers.

I Think As I Have Gotten Older, My Feelings About My Role In The Culture As A Writer, And Me Specifically, Has Changed, And Has Become More Degraded And Marginalized. This May Be A More Personal And Psychological Than A Sociological Insight, But I Feel More Vulnerable.

I Thought Of Myself As Kind Of An Anarchist All My Whole Adult Life, From The Days When I Was 15 Or 16.

I Dont Walk Around Chuckling All The Time. My Outlook Is Very Bleak. Its Worse Than Bleak, Its Apocalyptic.

I Think Of Memory As A Game, That Is As Something One Engages In With A Very Profound Kind Of "playfulness."
