“We are never satisfied with what we have done. We know that our best is never adequate. If I had to be satisfied with what I have written I’d still be on my first novel. But I wrote what was for me the best book I could write at that moment in time.”

I'm talking about the thousands of booksellers and librarians working long hours to keep reading alive and getting little recognition for all that they do.”
