Comics? Honestly, that's more a matter of nostalgia for me. I think most of that energy has gone to my love of literature, and my love of film...

I definitely care about how the concept of New York punk was constructed, and why it mattered. But I wasn't gonna do that. Partly because I'm not a great journalist...

I don't write about anything I don't love even if that love sometimes gets all screwed up and tormented.

Writing is physical for me. I always have the sense that the words are coming out of my body, not just my mind.

When people call something "original," 9 out of 10 times they just don't know the references or original sources involved.

What I'm constantly striving for in my prose is clarity. So that, ideally, the writing will become so transparent that the reader will forget that the medium of communication is language.

what exactly is postmodernism, except modernism without the anxiety?
