I Love Reading; It's A Great Way

I Certainly Wake Up Every Morning And Thank God That I'm Not A Novelist Because The Theater Is Tough, But Novel Writing Is Infinitely Harder. Especially With The Economics Of Serious Fiction Being What They Are In America.

When I Was Younger, I Used To Be Very Impatient With Anyone Who Wasn't Doing Overtly Political Work. I've Since Come To Feel That Some Writers Have An Appetite Or A Need For The Political, For Political Discourse, For Historical Political Subjects.

We Won't Die Secret Deaths Anymore. The World Only Spins Forward. We Will Be Citizens. The Time Has Come. Bye Now. You Are Fabulous Creatures, Each And Every One. And I Bless You: More Life. The Great Work Begins.

Artists Know That Diligence Counts As Much, If Not More, As Inspiration; In Art, As In Politics, Patience Counts As Much As Revolution.
