I just noticed recently that in one book after another I seem to find an excuse to find some character who, to put it idiotically simply, is allowed to talk crazy.
Jonathan LethemThe book is openly a kind of spiritual autobiography, but the trick is that on any other level it's a kind of insane collage of fragments of memory.
Jonathan LethemYou donโt have the slightest idea of what it means to write a scene and a character in the English language, with images and words chock full of received meaning.
