1 " Stories are consoling, fiction is one of the consolation prizes for having lived in the world. "
― Don DeLillo , Conversations with Don DeLillo
2 " I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction, but in a very general way, as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language. "
3 " We have a rich literature. But sometimes it’s a literature too ready to be neutralized, to be incorporated into the ambient noise. This is why we need the writer in opposition, the novelist who writes against power, who writes against the corporation or the state or the whole apparatus of assimilation. We’re all one beat away from becoming elevator music. "
