I think that's what I love about writing, is the ability to try to, in a sense, take a vacation from yourself and try to enter the sensibility of another time, another character, another place.
From Ron Rash
I think I had a particular moment when I was 15 years old. I read 'Crime and Punishment,' and that book just, I think, more than any other book made me want to be a writer, 'cause it was the first time that I hadn't just entered a book, but a book had entered me.
One of my goals is to allow readers to see my characters and the world they inhabit as vividly as possible.
'Cool-Hand Luke' is one of my favorite movies.
I learnt how to hunt rattlesnakes with an eagle for 'Serena.'
As I get older I find myself thinking it all begins with Shakespeare.
I wouldn't mind being a track and field coach.
