They remain below forever, because they bear what should have bourne them.”

“Well, I don't like the UK. I haven't ever been a fan of the pound (sterling), and even though they are taking some steps in the right direction - more so than the US - in addressing some of their problems, I still think they're doing it much too slowly.

I ultimately expect the pound to rise against the dollar, but that's not the best way to take advantage of dollar weakness.”

For non-fiction, I write happily on a computer, but for fiction I write by hand, because I'm trying to achieve a kind of thoughtless state, or an unconscious instinctive state.

Creating that way seems to generate the most interesting material for me to work with, though.”
