I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

The current publishing scene is extremely good for the big, popular books. they sell them brilliantly, market them and all that. it is not good for the little books. and really valuable books have been allowed to go out of print. in the old days, the publishers knew that these difficult books, the books that appeal only to a minority, were very productive in the long run. because they're probably the books that will be read in the next generation.

I remember one letter from a girl in a midwestern town who read one of my books and thought she had discovered it- that no one had ever read it or knew about it. then one day in her local library she found cards for one or two of my other books. they were full of names- the books were borrowed all the time. she resented this a bit and then walked around the town looking in everybody's face and wondering if they were the ones who were reading my books. that is someone i write for.

My mother got sick when i was rich. and my mother, you know … i don’t really want to get into it, but my mother was sicker than my father. and my mother’s alive. my mother’s fine, ok? i remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, ‘was i in the right place?’ like, this was a hotel. like it had a concierge, man. if the average person really knew the discrepancy in the health care system, there’d be riots in the streets, ok? they would burn this m-therf—ker down!

Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry.
Book Inquiry Made
The act of writing... is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. and ultimately, i think that's the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books.

Love's stories written in love's richest books. to fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes.

You get to be a certain age and you start reading stuff about the age you are, and you think, what is wrong with these people who are writing these books? do they not have necks?
