When I finish a book, I like to feel that it's right. I like to be finished and go on to something new. It was a nineteenth century way to publish. To see through them, to catch the imperfections. I do, but only if they're good.
Art's the same way.
It's great to read people who really do things in unique ways. Like Cormac McCarthy . Ron Hansen is another. He takes a lot of chances. There's a new guy named Steve Yarbrough .
