“ My God, the corruptions of literature. It put all these notions into our heads. ”
Ethics is a dream.
~ Charles Baxter
As the poet says, all happy couples are alike, it's the unhappy ones who create the stories. I'm no longer a story. Happiness has made me fade into real life.
When all the details fit in perfectly, something is probably wrong with the story.
When I'm writing, I'm waiting to see somebody, and I'm waiting to hear them. It's almost like conjuring spirits out of the air, using your own imaginative instability.
