我是个失败的诗人。也许每个小说家都想先写诗，发现自己做不到，然后尝试短篇小说，这是诗歌之后要求最高的形式。如果连这都失败了，他才会转向写小说。
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
We live among myths, and sometimes we don’t even realize it.
The novel is a mirror walking down the road.
I used to walk down the street like I was a star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.
坚毅是对长期目标的激情和坚持。
