To me, the moment you're talking about nonfiction you're talking about reality.
I don’t know what’s the matter with me, why I’m so adept at distance, why I feel so remote from things, why life feels like a rumor.
Our culture is obsessed with real events because we experience hardly any.
My medium is prose, not the novel.
A book should either allow us to escape existence or teach us how to endure it.
If I'm reading a book and it seems truly interesting, I tend to start reading back to front in order not to be too deeply under the sway of progress.
