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.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Verpflichtung des Schriftstellers, die sinnliche Textur einer verschwundenen Welt neu zu gestalten, ist auch der Historiker. Die stärksten Schriftsteller tun oft tief nach, um die Gedanken und Äußerungen der verlorenen Zeit glaubwürdig zu machen.

Stories are not explanations of the world we live in. Science does that, and math does that. Our obligation as fiction writers is to enhance the mysteries.

I was totally absorbed in the real world, the politics, the history, the news, and I just couldn't find my way into the fictional world... When I finally could return to writing the novel, it was in fits and starts.

I've always loved science fiction. I think the smartest writers are science fiction writers dealing with major things.

Fiction writers tend to err either making people more than they are or less than they are. I'd rather err on the side of the former.

When I heard 'Moon River', at first I thought it was just a nice song, but then I started paying attention to the words and realized this song was about Huck Finn. I just love the words, that it's kind of you and me against the world, and we're going to make it together.

I definitely want to act and I want to sing. If those two fall through, I want to become a writer, probably, like a songwriter for other people, or a novel writer. I write a lot, and I read a lot. I like reading fiction.
