“A novel, for me, relies on my imagination to inspire your (the reader's) imagination. It is not all there for you. My novels or my stories come to me visually. I use words to translate the novel I see inside my head into words that I hope will create a movie inside your head.” StoriesUseImaginationNovelInspireReaderRelyTranslateMy Imagination Author:Jay Neugeboren
“A movie can evoke feelings, thoughts, it is all there and happening, there is no control over the images when you are watching a movie. You are transported for three hours to a world where you see real people. In a novel it is private - there's only you, and words on pages. The landscape is in your mind and in your feelings.” PeopleWorldMindRealFeelingsThreeHoursNovelPagesHappeningsLandscapeEvoke Author:Jay Neugeboren
“I hope my novels will allow you to become lost in a world totally unlike the actual world we live in. I work hard to make the words evoke particular images, thoughts, feelings, the mystery of relationships.” WorldHardFeelingsLostNovelMysteryParticularHard WorkEvoke Author:Jay Neugeboren
“Writing a novel, I am making is an object that has a life and identity of its own, apart from me.” WritingNovelIdentityObjects Author:Jay Neugeboren
