folks who do anything other than writing
"The ongoing professionalization of writing, an outcome of our neoliberal moment, has acted centrifugally on writers, clotting them together in ways that are unprecedented. I tend to spend more time with readers. What truly enriches my creative life are folks who do anything other than writing. ... And books, of course. I don't need much else to inspire me as long as I have books."

"The greatest minds of our time and in human history have spent years, and sometimes decades, to condense the best of what they know into a few pages that can be read in a few hours and purchased for a few dollars … but you're not a big reader. That's a bad decision."
