More From Jasper Fforde

Children grow rapidly, forget the centuries-long embrace from their parents, which to them lasted but seconds. children become adults, live far from their parents, live their own houses, learn ways of their own, suffer pain, grow old. children curse their parents for their wrinkled skin and hoarse voices. those now old children also want to stop time, but at another time. they want to freeze their own children at the center of time.

What's wrong with our children? adults telling children to be honest while lying and cheating. adults telling children to not be violent while marketing and glorifying violence... i believe that adult hypocrisy is the biggest problem children face in america.

Farm policy, although it's complex, can be explained. what it can't be is believed. no cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of washington, d.c., videotaped in flagrante delicto has ever come up with anything as farfetched as u.s. farm policy.

Scarlett, from the ashes of the war-ravaged land at tara, remembering what she was taught by her father in happier times: "as god is my witness, as god is my witness, they're not going to lick me! i'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, i'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! if i have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill! as god is my witness, i'll never be hungry again."

When writing, you can't break physical rules. you can't have people come back from the dead. that's cheating. i am a kind of narrative fundamentalist in many ways.
