My assignment is what every writer's assignment is: tell the truth of his own time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A writer's job is to tell the truth.
As a novelist, I ask of myself only that I tell the truth and that I tell it beautifully.
My purpose is to make my narrative as truthful as possible.
There are two kinds of writers; the great ones who can give you truths, and the lessor ones, who can only give you themselves.
The kind of fiction I'm trying to write is about telling the truth.
Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.
The writer's duty is to keep on writing.
Don't try to write what other people are writing - write what is true to you.
I was always at heart a novelist and wanted to tell a bigger story, so I wanted to create people who told other kinds of truths than literal truths.
As a writer, my only responsibility is to tell a compelling story.
