Momentum, in literary mosaic, derives not from narrative but from the subtle, progressive buildup of thematic resonances.

Everything I write, I believe instinctively, is to some extent collage. Meaning, ultimately, is a matter of adjacent data.

My medium is prose, not the novel.

A book should either allow us to escape existence or teach us how to endure it.

Story seems to say that everything happens for a reason and I want to say, No, it doesn’t.

Genre is a minimum security prison.

Copies have been dethroned; the economic model built on them is collapsing. In a regime of superabundant free copies, copies are no longer the basis of wealth. Now relationships, links, connections, and sharing are. Value has shifted away from a copy toward the many ways to recall, annotate, personalize, edit, authenticate, display, mark, transfer, and engage a work. Art is a conversation, not a patent office. The citation of sources belongs to the realms of journalism and scholarship, not art. Reality can’t be copyrighted.
