People tend to be scared of what they can't see.

Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem.

I had a talk with the president of my publisher, and he averred that e-books are dropping off . So I wonder if the potential advantages are really going to happen as quickly as they ought.

Impotence, fetishism, bisexuality, and bondage are all facts of life, and our fiction should reflect that.

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

It's also true, however, that having conquered the regional writer ghetto, I am now intent on conquering the nationalist writer ghetto and moving out into the world more.

So while it is true that I find really dark stuff funny sometimes, it's also true that as a writer of books I want to have the whole range of human emotions.
