The secret to living in the rush of the world with a minimum of pain is to get as many people as possible to string along with your delusions.
Philip RothIโm interested in what people do with the chaos in their lives and how they respond to it, and simultaneously what they do with what they feel like are limitations. If they push against these limitations, will they wind up in the realm of chaos, or will they push against limitations and wind up in the world of freedom?
