I'm interested in social commentary.

I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.

As an academic, a great deal of my time is spent writing, with very little in meetings. In government, the premium is placed on figuring things out through discussing them with other people.

I love discussing the ins and outs of the collaborative nature of writing.

We don't normally think of it as such, but writing is a technology.

I have been into social work since 45 years, and at an average, every day for one or two hours, I have been engaging in social discourses. It is not a small thing.

I do think that part of literature's job is to comment on and participate in the social issues of the time.

I love writing and do not know why it is considered such a difficult, agonizing profession.

I cannot say that I write with any social objective. One writes because one loves writing, really.
