More From Craig Ferguson

Kafka is one of my very favorite writers. kafka's fictional world is already so complete that trying to follow in his steps is not just pointless, but quite risky, too. what i see myself doing, rather, is writing novels where, in my own way, i dismantle the fictional world of kafka that itself dismantled the existing novelistic system.
Writing Trying World
Albert camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not. tom robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end. camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm. there is only one serious question. and that is: who knows how to make love stay? answer me that and i will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Making Love Bed Alarms
Camus believed in dialogue and diplomacy, and enlisted his work as a philosopher to the need to find nonviolent solutions, whereas sartre called for violent conflicts and justified terror.

What is courage? this courage will not be the opposite of despair. we shall often be faced with despair, as indeed every sensitive person has been during the last several decades in this country. hence kierkegaard and nietzsche and camus and sartre have proclaimed that courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.
Country Courage Moving
Well, when i was a young writer the people we read were hemingway, fitzgerald, sartre, camus, celine, malraux. and to begin with, i was a bit of a copycat writer and very derivative and tried to write a novel using their voices, really.... i keep it out of print.
Writing Voice People
I went through a whole phase when i was younger of being obsessed with tolstoy and kafka and camus, all those really, beautiful, dark depressing books.
