I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.
I'm the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.
Being an author is always like being a well-run dictatorship - it's all one person speaking.
I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.
My readers know my views on politics and politicians because I make no secret of them in my comments for 'The New Yorker' and elsewhere.
As a writer, I have readers who will have a range of political views. I don't think they look to me for political guidance.
Well see, I'm a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.
If the critics are right that I've made all my decisions based on polls, then I must not be very good at reading them.
I reach my readers regardless of what the critics have written.
I suppose people might consider me a 'loose' reader, as I seem willing to read anything of quality thinking and prose.
