Questo autore percepisce la scrittura come un processo di rilascio di energia, in cui le storie possono manifestarsi come una lenta combustione, un lampo di delirio o una detonazione di nuova comprensione. Esplora diverse forme di "combustione" letteraria, dai libri per bambini ai romanzi profondi, rifiutando la pressione contemporanea verso la specializzazione.

La scrittura è per lui una disciplina, spesso esasperante ma sempre sorprendentemente nuova.
