I have no memories I'm prepared to share with you.
There's always something happening in pretty much every moment of every scene of everything I've ever worked on in longform that's not being expressed or acknowledged.
Messages hidden in the thickets of a story are the ones that burrow deepest because most of us don't realize that any burrowing is going on at all.
You are the untold story. You are the impassioned truth wanting to scream its existence, to be forever trapped by a strong hand clapped firmly over the mouth of my soul.
When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children.
In any novel I write, I have in my mind several things which happened in the protagonist's past which I never mention in the book.
Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.
Even wars, big conflicts that have drawn a lot of news coverage, sometimes seem to me to have a center that hasn't been described, that might yet be glimpsed if approached from some odd angle.
I think every person and place is interesting, and there's an interesting story behind every door.
Each book has a secret history of ways and means.
I have a narrative, but you will be put to it to find it.
Today each of you is the object of the other’s reading, one reads in the other the unwritten story.
