My father, if anything, first and last, was a man of words. He loved stories; he didn't live for stories, exactly, but I think he lived through stories. I think, like many writers, he loved stories about things he had experienced as much as, if not m...
Atari is a very sad story.
Though it may not seem like it, I never try to write about a place, per se; it's always, first and last, about story. Story is everything. Story and a bit of attitude.
And you’re disappointed in the story. I know you wanted a love story.
Just because they're a story doesn't mean they're not real.
The story it told was unremarkable: a tale of love found and lost- the oldest story in the world. The only story.
Trust the story ... the storyteller may dissemble and deceive, the story can't: the story can only ever be itself.

The story of the decadence of the cathedral as a moral power, a spiritual energizer in civilization, is the sad but inevitable story of dogmatism. It is the story of the struggle of free thought with bigotry, religion making common cause with the wro...
...stories want to be told. Stories have a power of their own ... you can't write a story until you've felt it. Breathed it in. Walked with your characters. Talked with them.
