I think first-person narrators should be complex, because otherwise the first-person is too shallow and predictable. I like a first-person narrator who can't totally be trusted.

I don't know exactly how long the book as we know it will exist, but I fully expect to make it to my death without having to give up on books.

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

I love comic books and always did as a kid.

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

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