Alice McDermott Quotes

I Suppose I've Never Set Out To Write A Novel In Which Nothing Happens ... Only To Write A Novel About The Lives Of Certain Characters. That Nothing 'happens' In Their Lives Is Beside The Point To Me; I'm Still Interested In How They Live, And Think, And Speak, And Make Some Sense Of Their Own Experience. Incident (in Novels And In Life) Is Momentary, And Temporary, But The Memory Of An Incident, The Story Told About It, The Meaning It Takes On Or Loses Over Time, Is Lifelong And Fluid, And That's What Interests Me And What I Hope Will Prove Interesting To Readers. We're Deluged With Stories Of Things That Have Happened, Events, Circumstances, Actions, Etc. We Need Some Stories That Reveal How We Think And Feel And Hope And Dream.
