    Work, Work, Work

    Work, work, work, but what mark do we leave, what point do we make? People who are too beholden to work become like erasers: as things move forward, they leave in their wake no trace of themselves.

    Words Are Cold Muddy Toads

    Words are cold, muddy toads trying to understand sprites dancing in a field-but they’re all we have.

    Life Is An Interpretation Of A Series Of Facts

    Life is an interpretation of a series of facts, and that interpretation is really what life is about. So the division between non-fiction and fiction has a certain logic, but it’s a very limited one. And by and large, it isn’t helpful.

    A Story Is Life That Makes Sense

    Just as music is noise that makes sense, a painting is colour that makes sense, so a story is life that makes sense.

    In Art Something Comes Of Nothing

    In art, something comes of nothing. Out of the thin air and the ether, you create a story. And that is intensely satisfying.

    Art Is The Suitcase Of History

    Art is the suitcase of history, carrying the essentials. Art is the life buoy of history. Art is seed, art is memory, art is vaccine.

    It’s Sentence By Sentence

    I am not a particularly natural writer. I am not a person who can write in paragraphs the way some writers do. For me, it’s sentence by sentence, sometimes word-by-word. And I revise constantly. It’s a very laborious process, but I love doing it.

    Stories Are What Stitch Together The Disparate Elements Of Human Existence

    Stories–individual stories, family stories, national stories–are what stitch together the disparate elements of human existence into a coherent whole. We are story animals.

    Art Is A Gift You Create And Then You Give Away

    Art is a gift: you create and then you give away. How readers receive that gift is their business. If they hate it, that’s their response to it. Others respond by liking it. Either way, that is their interaction with the book, which is no longer mine.

    Books Can’t Be Reduced To The Cost Of The Materials With Which They Were Made

    Books, like people, can’t be reduced to the cost of the materials with which they were made. Books, like people, become unique and precious once you get to know them.

    What Is Your Problem With Hard To Believe?

    If you stumble about believability, what are you living for? Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe?

    A Great Literary Work Can Be Completely Unpredictable

    A great literary work can be completely, completely unpredictable. Which can sometimes make them very hard to read, but it gives them a great originality.

    Just Do It. Get It Down On The Page.

    Just do it. Get it down on the page. Work hard. And then let go. Ask yourself why you want to write. You have to be clear about that.

    The world isn’t just the way it is. It is how we understand it, no? And in understanding something, we bring something to it, no? Doesn’t that make life a story?

    If History Doesn’t Become Story It Dies

    As for nonfiction, for history, it may be real, but its truth is slippery, hard to access, with no fixed meaning bolted to it. If history doesn’t become story, it dies to everyone except the historian.

    I Love Cinema

    I love cinema. I think the risk of the aesthetics being fixed is compensated by other advantages. Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches different audience. It’s something I really like. I like movies.

    Fiction And Nonfiction Are Not So Easily Devided

    Fiction and nonfiction are not so easily divided. Fiction may not be real, but it’s true; it goes beyond the garland of facts to get to emotional and psychological truths.
