I do love the weird, and I realize that I write much in that tradition, so I'm happy to be counted in among some of my favorite authors.

I've always been fascinated by the concept of time.

I can write a story in working-class Stockholm Swedish, but I'm not going to assume I can perform the same feat with Cockney. I'll focus on adventures in story, themes and structure instead.

I have control of my own style.

What I do with the story itself varies of course, but what I want to do is to present the world so that the reader can access it without tripping over the details.

When I returned to short stories, I'd started working on what is still central to much of what I try to do: putting myself in the place of the alien rather than describing it from an outside point of view.
