“I sometimes think about that, when I finish in something big I find it even hard, I feel like I lose an actual noticeable percentage of my reading time. Even on the reader end I find it so hard when a book that I love so much ends, to find the kindness to enter into a new one. Do you know what I'm saying? To find my way in, I feel like even there's that space after. I just love inhabiting a book that hits right.” ThinkingBookSometimesReadingKindnessMy Way Author:Nathan Englander
“To me, when one is writing sometimes about a very specific subject with very specific people, I feel like if that story doesn't cross over, it's not working. That's very beautiful to me, to be sitting in Berlin and there's an actor reading my book in German. I don't even know what's going on, except I know to feel my own rhythms in another language and say, "If this is going well, I think everyone should laugh around now." Then maybe there's laughter, and for me, it reminds me of how story can move around the world.” PeopleThinkingWorldWritingBookSometimesBeautifulMovingReadingLanguageLaughingLaughterRhythmOver ItVery Beautiful Author:Nathan Englander
“I'd much prefer my books to shoes...In the summer I sometimes take walks without shoes but never without a novel.” BookSometimesWalksNovelSummerShoes Author:Nathan Englander
