The novelist’s obligation to remake the sensuous texture of a vanished world is also the historian’s. The strongest fiction writers often do deep research to make the thought and utterances of lost time credible Picture Quote #1

I think that there are fiction writers for whom that works well. I could never do it. I feel as if, by the time I see that it’s a poem, it’s almost written in my head somewhere Picture Quote #1

Writers of fiction should stick to writing, not pop up on panel shows or as a talking head Picture Quote #1

My writing process is ritualized and monotonous, but there’s no other way to get the job done. All other fiction writers I’ve met say the same thing Picture Quote #1

Much to my surprise, there’s a sense for people in the cable industry that fiction writers might actually be good at script writing. You can write dialogue! Picture Quote #1

I’m really aware that in fiction, women are pretty much equal. There’s a lot of very successful women novelists. Not so much [for women writers working] in film Picture Quote #1
