I didn't think of the narrative as making a judgment. It didn't occur to me the reader would either, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible there would be that risk.

I think any time you deal with humans and the way they exploit one another and cause pain you are in the realm of politics, on some level.

I don't really see art as structured by logic.

I am interested in risk, in art as well as in the realm of politics.

When I see things in the world that leap out at me, I want to make use of them in fiction. Maybe every writer does that. It just depends on what you claim or appropriate as yours.

I was very precocious when I was young. I went to college at 16, and I graduated at 20. I wanted to be a writer, but I was more interested in experience than in applying myself intellectually.
