Novels Are . . . An Unsurpassed

When I Was A Very Young Author, I Knew I Needed To Build Myself A Tower Outside Of Europe. Like When You're A Hunter, And Build Towers To Watch The Animals Move. I Knew I Would Never Understand The World Without That Perspective. I Came To Africa For That Rational Reason, Although I Love Mozambique Now.

To Grow Up Is To Wonder About Things; To Be Grown Up Is To Slowly Forget The Things You Wondered About As A Child.

I'm Not Very Much Of A Reader Really, Because I Find Much Of It Very Bad, Very Uninteresting, Very Speculative.

Have I Ever Written Anything That Has Really Changed Something? What I Believe Is That You Can't Change Anything Without Using Art. I Believe That The Drops Wear Away The Stone. I Try To Be Part Of That Army.

The Stories I Create Are Never As Awful As Reality.
