AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE
'The purpose of narrative is to present us with complexity and ambiguity.'
'I tend to start with a kernel, a vague concept, and just begin to write things down – notes about a character, lines of dialogue, descriptive passages about a place. One idea fires another. I do that for about a year. By then there’s a story, and I’ll go on to a complete first draft that sews many of those ragtag pieces together.'
'All my novels are about the ambiguities that lie beneath the sharp edges of the law.'
'I adore the company of other writers because they are so often lively minds and, frequently, blazingly funny. And of course, we get each other in a unique way.'
'The truth of the matter is that the people who succeed in the arts most often are the people who get up again after getting knocked down. Persistence is critical.'
