personally I don't trust literature that soothes people's consciences.
In a novel, my feelings and sense of outrage can find a broader means of expression which would be more symbolic and applicable to many European countries.
As a writer, I've always been interested in others.
I prefer insomnia to anaesthesia.
I live quietly at home among my family and friends.
But I don't think I have any particular talent for prediction, because when you have three or four elements in hand, you don't have to be a genius to reach certain conclusions.
