You Tend To Feel Very Hurt When

What Better Portrait Of A Writer Than To Show A Man Who Has Been Bewitched By Books?

I Haven't Done Any Translating For Decades Now. It's Something I Did When I Was Young.

There Are Often References To Childhood, But They're Rarely The Focus Of The [my] Novels.

I Met Peter Brook, The Theater Director, Who's Been Based In Paris For Many Years At The Bouffes Du Nord. I Admire Him Tremendously. Some Years Ago, He Was In New York, And He Gave An Interview With The Times, And What He Said Was This: "in My Work, I Try To Capture The Closeness Of The Everyday And The Distance Of Myth. Because, Without The Closeness, You Can't Be Moved, And Without The Distance, You Can't Be Amazed." Isn't That Extraordinary?

You Find The Book In The Process Of Doing It. That's The Adventure Of The Job.
