Morning Edition interview with Carrie Healy of New England Public Media
It was a delight and an honor to be on the radio talking to Morning Edition reporter Carrie Healy about THE GATEPOST. The interview, which aired on public radio stations throughout Vermont and western Massachusetts, touched on the inspirations for the novel, why I chose to set it mostly in Vermont, legacy as a literary theme, and why the hallucinatory settings of the book, though frightening at ti

| I could not put this book down, and looked forward to returning to it whenever I got a free moment. That's probably all I need to say at this point, but I very much admire the way the author was able to write a funny story that was also so highly pro ...more | |

| Interesting to read le Carré's breakout novel (in first edition no less!), which remains nearly as impressive now as it was when it came out in the early 1960s. Especially the last third of the book, in which the story really takes off with the almos ...more | |

“...[O]n virtually every page, the same unmistakable message: Tread lightly. Think ahead. Respect the reality that despite your intelligence you are inseparable from the great web of life, a species to whom much has been given and of whom much is expected in return, namely a firm commitment to stewardship as opposed to thoughtless exploitation.”

“We’re used to thinking of all parts of space as existing at once,” she would say, “even if we’re not there to experience them. Well, it’s the same with time, Nick. Past, present, future: all are in continual existence, even though we don’t experience them that way.”

“Read good writing, and don’t live in the present. Live in the deep past, with the language of the Koran or the Mabinogion or Mother Goose or Dickens or Dickinson or Baldwin or whatever speaks to you deeply. Literature is not high school and it’s not actually necessary to know what everyone around you is wearing, in terms of style, and being influenced by people who are being published in this very moment is going to make you look just like them, which is probably not a good long-term goal for being yourself or making a meaningful contribution. At any point in history there is a great tide of writers of similar tone, they wash in, they wash out, the strange starfish stay behind, and the conches.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
