A good place.

April 30, 2009

By a good story I mean that the reader will arrive at a different place from where they started—a good place. It’s not necessarily that the story has a moral, or a happy ending; not saying this is right, this is wrong. The difference must be that it leaves a kind of memory. I believe memory is a kind of petrol in your life, in your body, in your will to live. My memories help me a lot to live on, to survive.
