Live Today, For Tomorrow We Die.

I Have A Very Serious Censorship Office Inside My Head; It Censors Things That I Could Tell You That You Would Never Forget, And I Don't Want To Be The Person To Stick That In Your Brain.

You Write A Lot Of Books; You Hope You Get Better.

I Don't Just Want My Books To Be About The '30s And '40s. I Want Them To Read As If They Had Been Written Then. I Think Of Them As '40s Novels, Written In The Conservative Narrative Past.

The Printing Presses Of The State Treasuries Cranked Out Reams Of Paper Currency- Showing Wise Kinds And Blissful Martyrs- While Bankers Wept And Peasants Starved.

I Expect That My Readers Have Been To Europe, I Expect Them To Have Some Feeling For A Foreign Language, I Expect Them To Have Read Books - There Are A Lot Of People Like That! That's My Audience.
