If you knew that your life was merely a phase or short, short segment of your entire existence, how would you live? Knowing nothing 'real' was at risk, what would you do?

Books can create a depth of story, a background of information and ideas, that televison and movies can't. Sure, the television shows may shock, but only on a superficial level. They'd never risk market share to really explore the issues. They report, but don't analyze or suggest any new ways for living our lives.

When we die, these are the stories still on our lips. The stories we’ll only tell strangers, someplace private in the padded cell of midnight.

What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher.

I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.

My books are more about people experimenting with different identities and social models in a short-term way before they can break through to something authentic.

The short stories tend to be a journalistic gathering of anecdotes that are put together to make something larger.

If you haven't already noticed, all my books are about a lonely person looking for some way to connect with other people.In a way, that is the opposite of the American Dream: to get so rich you can rise above the rabble, all those people on the freeway or, worse, the bus.
