Is it experimental to have been influenced by the Bible? By Saint Augustine?

All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on, walking towards utopia, which may not exist, on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side.

I would say my theme has always been paradise lost, always the lost cause, the lost leader, the lost utopia.

If you understand hallucination and illusion, you don't blindly follow any leader. You must know if the person is sane or insane, over the abyss.

I've been willing to go for years without publishing. That's been my career.

I think there is a rage against women. I've come to see that now although at the time I did not notice it. I was preoccupied with my teaching and my writing.

I never fantasized or invented a thing, not one thing. I knew every single thing I ever wrote about.
