I would never write realistic prose. I don`t like people who try to write in a poetic style, but in the course of their book abandon it for realism, and weave back and forth like drunkards between the surreal and the real.
I think there is a rage against women. I`ve come to see that now although at the time I did not notice it. I was preoccupied with my teaching and my writing.
I think most people don`t like others who, without a voice of their own, emulate the other. I certainly don`t want anybody just to pick up my thoughts and hand them back to me.
I would say my theme has always been paradise lost, always the lost cause, the lost leader, the lost utopia.
