Rise to the Challenge
"I like to believe that my readers are as smart as the writers I hang out with, and they will rise to the challenge. We teach our readers how to read our books in the first paragraph, in the first word. We set up a contract with them."
Seducing the Reader
"If I seduce you into feeling something... then you will decide for yourself what you'll do with that feeling."

"It is a dig at the author's vanity to realise how quickly the reader's eye skips across the words which it has taken him so many months to try to arrange in the right sequence."
