“„»Du hörst dich an wie meine Mama, wenn sie gesagt hat, Gott wird’s schon fügen.« »Hat Er das nicht?«, sagte Roland ernst. Sie sah ihn einen Augenblick lang voller stummer Überraschung an, dann warf sie den Kopf zurück und lachte zum Himmel hinauf. »Nun, ich schätze, das kommt ganz drauf an, wie man es betrachtet. Ich kann nur sagen, Roland, wenn Er uns versorgt, dann will ich nicht wissen, was passiert, wenn Er beschließt, uns hungern zu lassen.«”

“Each act of writing represents a separate lock of the author’s tissue and all serious piecework folds into an ongoing anthology. A writer’s portfolio is comprised of interlocking ideas that are in a constant state of change. A writer’s ideas gradually reflect their current mental and spiritual composition and a writer’s way of living reflects the progression of their ideas. Each written version of a person’s life stands as mental testament of who the author was at a given moment in time. Just as we cannot sum up a person’s life with an isolated snapshot, truly to understand who a writer was we must read his or her entire body of work. No single work of writing tells us who the writer was. The compilation of a writer’s scripts defines the shady author, even if some of these works overtake, correct, or contradict previous efforts. Who we are is the summation of who we were as a child, teenager, young adult, in middle age, and as an elder. Only by viewing a person in successive stages do we truly comprehend them. Only by reading the oeuvre of an author, do we appreciate the writer’s ultimate act of creation. Only by reading a person’s obituary do we come to know what their living Magnus opus stood for.”
