“I do like to write dialogue: it’s a matter of developing the ear. There is so much unconsidered speech, one’s own included (not to speak of the audible nightmare of the cell phone), that expressive speech becomes a luxury. And, speech–in literature as in life–can crucially suggest what is not said.”

“Fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare’s plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in mid-air by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering huma beign, and are attached to grossly material things, like health and money and the house we live in”
