“Every story penned by a writer is in some manner a love affair; its secret intimate details, its moments of joy and completeness, and sometimes its aching sadness and loss, has been painstakingly recorded by the writer, as if for a time capsule, so those feelings and emotions will be remembered for all time, and never forgotten.”

“When I turned back, Shannon had her arms spread wide, like Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, her back to the edge. She didn’t so much kill herself, as she just leaned back, and…let go of life. It was like slow motion, and then she just wasn’t there any more.”

“In his entire body of work, there is not a single allusion to two of the realities to which we generally ascribe great importance: sex and money. Truly not one reference. He writes exactly as though these things did not exist. So much so that when a female character does intervene in a story (which occurs altogether twice) one feels an odd twinge of bizarreness, as if he had suddenly decided to describe a Japanese person.”
