Jag kan inte spela bridge. Jag spelar inte tennis. Alla de saker som folk lär sig, och som jag ser upp till, har det inte funnits tid till. Men något som det finns tid till är att se ut genom fönstret.

I can't play bridge. I don't play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn't seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.

I have recently re-read much of Chekhov and it's a humbling experience. I don't even claim Chekhov as an influence because he influenced all of us. Like Shakespeare his writing shed the most perfect light - there's no striving in it, no personality. Well, of course, wouldn't I love to do that!

Jag vill att läsaren ska känna att något är häpnadsväckande. Inte "vad som händer" utan hur allting händer. Dessa långa noveller förmedlar det bäst, för mig.

I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me.

Mina egna verk brukar jag låta spänna över lång tid och hoppa fram och tillbaka i tiden, och ibland är sättet jag gör detta på inte självklart.

In my own work, I tend to cover a lot of time and to jump back and forward in time, and sometimes the way I do this is not very straightforward.

Under tjugo år har jag inte haft en enda dag då jag inte har behövt tänka på andras behov. Och detta betyder att skrivandet har fått anpassa sig till det.

In twenty years I've never had a day when I didn't have to think about someone else's needs. And this means the writing has to be fitted around it.

Sakers komplexitet - sakerna inuti saker - verkar ändlöst. Jag menar, inget är lätt, inget är enkelt.

The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.

Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.

Det är något som blir viktigare för mig när jag blir äldre: lyckliga slut.

That's something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings.

Ibland tar jag början till en novell från ett minne, en anekdot, men det glöms bort och är oftast oigenkännligt i den slutliga versionen.

Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story.

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they're gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you're going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.

When I'm doing the first draft, I have a so-much-a-day schedule. But when I start putting it on the computer I can get carried away, and I try to go as far as I can every day, as if I were going to die in the night or something.

Sometimes I read one of my stories, maybe one that I wrote thirty years ago, and I think, Now I'd go and do it differently. Or I think I would just alter a phrase that seems to me a little too polished or too sharp or too smart-aleck or something. Or too ironic. Irony was so big then that it got under your skin and you sort of didn't recognize it.

The Love of a Good Women.

I'm sorry I'm not able to be here. It is this attention of yours that has helped me to flourish for the past couple of decades, as an unapologetic writer of short fiction.
