I love to write. Why is that? Well, Nicole Krauss, writing about Roberto Bolano in the Guardian last week beautifully describes one of the main reasons….
Writing is always an expansion: a writer, given only one life, is compelled to manufacture other lives, other stories, other realms. The one life is not enough; it is necessary, for whatever reason – an overabundance of language or imagination, curiosity, desire, a distaste for finalities – to multiply the possibilities.
