I Don't Really Write Plots. I Use

I Don't Inflict Horrors On Readers.

I Write What I Call 'novels Of Consolation' For People Who Are Bright And Sophisticated.

Once You Have Your Characters, They Tell You What To Write, You Don't Tell Them.

It Takes Me Three Months Of Research And Nine Months Of Work To Produce A Book. When I Start Writing, I Do Two Pages A Day; If I'm Gonna Do 320, That's 160 Days.

The Best Paris I Know Now Is In My Head.
