There Is A Type Of Writer That

Everything Becomes Symbol And Irony When You've Been Betrayed

Most All Of The Writers I Admired When I Was In My Teens And Twenties Died Young. Fitzgerald Lived The Longest. He Was 44. Dylan Thomas Was 39. And Then Once You're Approaching 40, You Suddenly Think, "well, Maybe I Would Like To Live Longer Than Fitzgerald Or Thomas."

I Like The Fact That I'm Living In The World Rather Than In A University.

I Remain A Fan Of My Friend Bret Easton Ellis's 'american Psycho.' I Think As A Book About New York In The '80s It Was Pretty Excellent.

The Only Sensible Approach Is Not To Take It Too Seriously. What Counts Is The Writing.
