“Writing is an intensely private process. I‘m afraid there‘s no grand philosophical justification for my secrecy. The desire to know all about an author is a sign of laziness on the part of the reader. It‘s easier to digest a work of literature when you can attach it to a face, or a set of political beliefs or life style choices. When all you have is the text, or a body of work, you have to confront what is written.”
