My work is mostly about longing, human relationships, science and children - and a little bit about ghosts and reincarnation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.
I'm a storyteller, and I have really good material to work with: I've been studying magic and the occult since about 1983.
I think I'm drawn to writing about something which feels intense and important.
Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.
And so much of my life has been about returning home and longing for home, wanting my children to know about my roots. And I thought I can't be the only one to feel this way so I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore.
My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings.
I enjoy looking back on my life. I'm thinking seriously about starting to write about it.
I really like to talk about my work in a way that is complicated.
My work reflects a relationship to the built world that shifts between control and randomness, strangeness and beauty, comfort and fear.
I think of my own work as part of a decades-long conversation about books and reading with people I will mainly never meet.
