I believe that God locates himself at the spot where you recognize your own fallibility....And the paradox of it all has been that whenever I give up I seem to do better.

I am excited by... the new novel by Samantha Hunt. She's a writer I really admire a lot.

It turns out that my memory is just not that great, so for specific scenes with people doing stuff, sometimes I'd have the details all wrong or I couldn't remember what happened exactly, so I just let that be.

I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order.

Capitalism, in the realm of sexuality, I figure, thinks that we behave in specific ways, like a breast is always going to produce a hard-on for some product, whereas the truth is that sexuality is always a continuum, which can be characterized by reversals.

I sort of hate the novel when it doesn't push, restlessly, against the tradition and the traditional.

I published a bunch of my older books in e-book format with Open Road, which is great and has tons of hard to find older books available there.
