I would say my theme has always been paradise lost, always the lost cause, the lost leader, the lost utopia.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only paradise is paradise lost.
I believe that all my work explores the human desire or obsession for utopias, and the structure of all my works is the search for utopias lost and rediscovered.
'Lost' seems to be the inverse of 'Air': It explores dispossession and identity by forcing a bunch of people into one invented landscape instead of using many invented landscapes to keep people apart.
It is commonly asserted and accepted that Paradise Lost is among the two or three greatest English poems; it may justly be taken as the type of supreme poetic achievement in our literature.
The theme for me is love and the lack of it. We all want that and we don't know how to get it, and everything we do is some kind of attempt to capture it for ourselves.
A theme I'm obsessed with is the tension between human nature and the frameworks designed to curb the worst and promote the best of it.
When I write I'm never really thinking about themes or the universal.
Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!
The theme is the theme of humiliation, which is the square root of sin, as opposed to the freedom from humiliation, and love, which is the square root of wonderful.
Well the themes for me were and remain sex and love and grief and death - the things that make us and undo us, create and destroy, how we breed and disappear and the emotional context that surrounds these events.
