I confess that reading proofs is a pleasure. It stimulates and inspires me.
The Indian story has never been written. Maybe I am the man to do it.
I did not have one bad spell during writing - an unprecedented record.
I love my work but do not know how I write it.
Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.
Every once in a while I feel the tremendous force of the novel. But it does not stay with me.
