"Went into this really skeptical/weary, because I knew at least one character that we'd be following in this, and I just... It seemed so crazy, so absurd, so weird, I didn't know how well it would work to follow this character for a full novel...

“I never could read Foucault. I find philosophy tedious. All of my knowledge comes from reading novels and some history. I read Being and Nothingness and realized that I remembered absolutely nothing when I finished it. I used to go to the library every day and read every day for eight hours. I’d dropped out of high school and had to teach myself. I read Sartre without any background. I just forced myself and I learned nothing.”
