Whenever I pick up a book I think, "Tell me something I don't know."
Gypsies are, to say the least, underrepresented in literature and film.
If writers stuck to firsthand experience, novels would be pretty limited.
I suppose the short chapters and differing narrative points of view are quite "cinematic" devices, which came very naturally to me.
I despise this weakness in myself - this endless one-sided conversation that takes the place of action.
Endings are never neat, because when life goes on, there is no end. You may want to speculate about what the characters get up to afterwards, but I feel it would be presumptuous of me to dictate that.
