I started writing because the world sometimes made no sense, and I wanted it to make sense. I didn’t understand why people said one thing and did another, or how history consistently injured those who were trapped inside it. I wanted to unravel that. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I wanted to write fiction or nonfiction or journalism or poetry or philosophy or satire, which is maybe why my career has tried to thread its way through all of those. I am also happy to report that the world still makes no sense, so there’s still writing to do.
