As time has gone on and we're at the end of the 20th century and major publishing is a big business, yes, of course we're going to get a lot of plain, mediocre trash. There are a lot of writers who get huge advances for books that don't go anywhere and they have to burn them somewhere or throw them away. I always think about all the poor trees that have been sacrificed.

Itโs almost like weโre mad because weโve been shocked out of our usual comatose state of being by feeling something for someone, for ourselves, for just a moment.
