Quote

I read the newspapers avidly. It is my one form of continuous fiction.

I read the same amount of nonfiction and fiction.

I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.

I am not a pure fiction writer, nor am I an academic writer. Somehow I ended up in this blended area of literary journalism.

I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.
