Good writing gives energy, whatever it is about.

The phenomenon of university creative writing programs doesn't exist in France. The whole idea is regarded as a novelty, or an oddity.

Given the devaluation of literature and of the study of foreign languages per se in the United States, as well as the preponderance of theory over text in graduate literature studies, creative writing programs keep literature courses populated.

Good writing is like a windowpane.

All good writing comes out of aloneness.

Good writing is good writing, and I'm so happy when I read it.
