I am trying to make clear through my writing something which I believe: that biography- history in general- can be literature in the deepest and highest sense of that term.
“Syria is a terrorist state by any definition and is so classified by the State Department. I happen to think Iran is too. Iraq, Iran, Syria, they're all involved.”
“Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.”
