I started off doing fiction in 1993. It didn't occur to me to do nonfiction because it wasn't a thing yet. So I was bumbling around, writing short stories, and then I took a nonfiction workshop, and I realized that this was what I was supposed to do.

Ich habe 1993 angefangen, Fiktion zu machen. Es fiel mir nicht ein, Sachliteratur zu machen, weil es noch keine Sache war. Also humpelte ich herum, schrieb Kurzgeschichten und nahm an einem Non-Fiction-Workshop teil, und mir wurde klar, dass dies genau das war, was ich tun sollte.

I usually have about four books on the go - a bedside book, a lavatory book, a downstairs book, and the book in my study that I read sneakily while I should be writing. Short stories for the lavatory, obviously.

I started writing because I wanted to write scripts, but I wasn't very good at it. Then I started writing short stories, sort of as treatments for the film scripts, and I found I enjoyed writing short stories far more than I enjoyed writing film scripts. Then the short stories got longer and longer and suddenly, I had novels.

The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any.

I still read Hemingway. I still read his short stories because they're so good. He doesn't waste any words.
