Grief Takes Many Forms, Including The Absence

But I Read Comic Books. I Read Things Like Richie Rich And Little Lulu.

I Do Sometimes Miss Doing That Lighter, More Humorous Work, And I Find There's A Heavier Responsibility That Goes Along With A Literary Reputation. You Have To Start Knowing What You're Talking About And You Have To Go Have Public Conversations With Writers. That's Been Pretty Intense; I Have To Really Stay On Top Of Things In A Way I Didn't Before.

I Try Not To Have Anything Too Much Going On Between Waking Up And Getting To Work. I Like To Just Be Really Fresh When I Sit Down. I Always Have My Best Ideas, Like, Within Five Minutes Of Starting. And Then The Rest Of The Day Is Just Kind Of Putting In Time.

I Grew To Resent The Way My Father Treated His Furniture Like Children, And His Children Like Furniture.

People Really Want To Think That These Things Really Happened. I Don't Know Why That Is Important, But I Know That When I Finish Reading A Novel Or Something, I Want To Know How Much Of That Really Happened To This Author.
