Memory Narrativises Itself.

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.

To Me There's No Difference Between A Book Of Stories And A Novel - They're Just Slightly Different Shapes.

I Am Just Like Everybody Else...because There Is Nobody Like Me In The Whole World.

It Is My Belief That We As Human Beings Have A Need To Tell Stories - I Think It's Evolutionary. So You Can Think Of The Short Story As A Literary Form, Or You Can Instead Think Of Stories.

Memoir Implies The Need To Reveal Something About Yourself - To Recount Your Life For Educational Purposes.
