There is no right or wrong reading of Naked Lunch, though some readings are more common, and thus Burroughs commercial is not the issue.

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.

Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem.

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

I judged about a zillion awards this year so Ive been reading a lot of books that just came out.

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 always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.
