Some People Don't Realize That A Straight

Sometimes I Feel That I Am Destined Always To Be Offstage Whenever The Main Action Occurs. That God Has Made Me The Victim Of Some Cosmic Practical Joke, By Assigning Me Little More Than A Walk-on Part In My Own Life. Or Sometimes I Feel That My Role Is Simply To Be A Spectator To Other People's Stories, And Always To Wander Away At The Most Important Moment, Drifiting Into The Kitchen To Make A Cup Of Tea Just As The Denouement Unfolds.

Ah, Well, I Have No Talent For Nonfiction, That's My Problem.

I Have Two Ideas For Novels At The Moment, Neither Of Them All That Conventional, But I'm Not Ready To Choose Between Them Yet, Let Alone Settle Down To The Process Of Writing.

The More Melancholy Side Of My Literary Personality Is Much In Tune With Bs Johnson's.

You Would Go Mad If You Began To Speculate About The Impact Your Novel Might Have While You Were Still Writing It.
