Novel writing is solitary work.
From Mohsin Hamid
I don't listen to music when I write. I need silence so I can hear the sound of the words.
Basically, asking me what kind of music I like is like asking what kind of food I like: 'Anything that tastes good,' is the answer. I'm the kind of guy who spends three times as much on his speakers as he does on his television.
When I'm writing well, I feel happy. And when I go too long without writing, I begin to implode.
Being a writer is not the point. Writing is.
I don't want to be a propagandist or say that Pakistan is just great. There are problems, but it is a much more complex place than we are given to believe.
How many big businesses don't resort to underhand means?
I believe one can gauge a book's impact only after about 10 years.
