I didnโt do anything. I donโt have an explanation, I donโt know why I wanted to write. I did some short stories at that time, but very infrequently. I quit my job just to quit. I didnโt quit my job to write fiction. I just didnโt want to work anymore
Don DeLilloThe modern meaning of life's end-when does it end? How does it end? How should it end? What is the value of life? How do we measure it?
Don DeLilloI don't want to do the type of writing where I recite biography, parentage and education. I want to rise up from the words on the page and do something, hurt someone.
