“You know how some people are upwardly mobile? I'm sort of downwardly mobile in the publishing world, because of my sales figures and also because of the kind of books I write.

“I'd studied English literature and American history, but the English literature, which I thought was going to be helpful to me in an immediate way, was the opposite.
