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.

In general, each form is a relief from the other forms. I can't write a novel after a novel. I just use up all the material each time, and I need to rest.

The process of composition, messing around with paragraphs and trying to make really good prose, is hardwired into my personality.

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

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.

Tangled in one another's arms and nine times out of ten the things you think about a person make it impossible to touch them.

Maybe when I'm sixty-five I'll talk about my literary life.
