I Think I'm Out Of Crime Fiction

Closure Is A Preposterous Concept Worthy Of The Worst Aspects Of American Daytime Tv.

How Did I Change My Life? I Wanted Things. I Wanted Women And I Wanted To Write Books.

I Love Thinking About American History, Thinking About La History. I Love Brooding On Crime.

As A Kid, I Sensed History Going On All Around Me, But The Basic Thrust Of It Didn't Move Me.

I Don't Want To Recover From Writing This Book [the Onion]. I Feel Very Poised. I Feel Like I'm With My Mother For The First Time Ever. I Feel Like I've Confronted Her, And The Confrontation Goes On.
