It's much easier to read the stories that have a lot of dialogue; of course, they flow much more easily into speech.

To be interested in short stories, you have to be interested in fiction as an art form.

I like the eclipses, the synaptic jumps of short stories. The reader has to participate very actively in the experience.

I've never really thought of writing books. I've never thought about stories as a part of a collection.

The world we live in has been and is being increasingly politicised so that our daily experience is more and more a matter of public policy.

I'm a very spoiled writer. I need to be indolent, to waste a lot of paper. I'm inefficient.
