  • Well, to me, the tensile strength and the very definition of an artist is something that I would place at the top of a vertical hierarchy.

In Las Vegas, you can choose your fantasy; in the rest of America, you don't always get to pick.

  • I'm skeptical that the novel will be "re­invented." If you start thinking about a medical textbook or something, then, yes, I think that's ripe for reinvention. You can imagine animations of a beating heart. But I think the novel will thrive in its current form. That doesn't mean that there won't be new narrative inventions as well. But I don't think they'll displace the novel.
