T. Coraghessan Boyle:
I've always admired how you have a character in some sort of torment convince them-self they should do "A", then in the next paragraph pull a 180 and just as convincingly argue for "B." It makes me think that's how you go through life. Am I wrong?
T. Coraghessan Boyle
Ah, David, don't confuse author and character. Yes, I have been lucky enough to follow my instincts and do as I please in my life and my work, but often I write characters who screw up or change in unrecognizable ways in order to explore other avenues rather than living them.
