As in The Lime Twig dream and illusion are right at the center of Charivari.

In The Lime Twig I took two very young people and made them very old.

I went to a performance of 'The Crucible' at the Guthrie when I was a sophomore in high school, and I knew right away that that's what I wanted to do.

Really, I didn't like Alaska. It rained, almost every day, at least 300 days out of the year.

My father's parents were Irish. Only a year before my father died, he and I went back to Ireland for a week to look at the old homestead.

The only thing that exists is torment, lyricism, and the magnificence of language.
