“Every time I write a new novel about something sombre and sobering and terrible I think, 'oh Lord, they're not going to want to go here'. But they do. Readers of fiction read, I think, for a deeper embrace of the world, of reality. And that's brave.”
“Silver and gold the Gods have denied them, whether in mercy or in wrath, I am unable to determine.”
