I like writing at home, with nobody around.

What are you reading now?

I’m reading Rachel Cusk’s latest, Kudos. It’s amazing.

Anything by Alice Munro. Alice Munro’s individual stories have come to feel like fragments of a single, profound piece of writing to me. They’re all brilliant and they all contribute to this incredible, unified whole.
