• You know, as I've grown older, my ideas about sin have changed. I used to believe that sins were things you did, but I don't think that now. I think sins are what you ignore.

• Simply put, you can read a story in a single sitting and hold it all in your mind. You can experience all of its rhythms, beginning to end, during that span. Consequently it has, I think, greater emotional power than a novel because of this real-time effect. Stories can stun you.

• La gente piensa en los viajes, en el movimiento, como una especie de respiro de la vida. Pero se equivocan. El movimiento no es un respiro. No hay indulto. El movimiento es nuestro estado permanente.

• Durante un largo periodo de mi infancia, después de renunciar a ser jugador de fútbol profesional (estamos hablando de sexto curso), me planteé seriamente la posibilidad de escribir y dibujar cómics. Desde entonces he estado inventando cosas.

• No me imagino convirtiéndome en uno de esos viejos que ya no leen ficción. Me conmueve con regularidad y no sufro ansiedad de influencia. ¡Influenciarme! Ese era mi credo entonces, mientras me desarrollaba y aprendía, y sigue siéndolo ahora, mientras me desarrollo y aprendo.

• Me convertí en escritor primero por el dibujo y luego por mi obsesión por los cómics, en particular por Marvel Comics. Inventé un mundo de superhéroes a partir de tercer curso con mi compañero de clase, Wai-Kwan Wong. En una clase de cuarenta niños, digamos que había mucho tiempo sin dirección. Pero esto era bueno porque yo era un niño soñador.

• I studied Hitchcock and Josef von Sternberg under Richard Dillard at Hollins, and that year under his tutelage just completely rewired my brain. Both directors combine moral seriousness with great artistry and, certainly in Hitchcock's case, an enormous respect for plot, for its power to enthrall and delight.

• I'm interested in the limits of personality, in the possibility of change, and the saving power of art. Do powerful works of art raise our consciousness to such a degree that we refrain from sliding into moral hazard? Do we take note? Or are we doomed to repetition?

• By examining characters lighting the way to hell, as it were, are readers spared iniquity? Are stories a heeded warning, or merely an entertainment? Each story in the collection tries to wrestle with these questions.

• I'll never forget reading Chekhov's "A Doctor's Visit" on a train to Hawthorne, New York, and I got to the end - the scene where the patient says goodbye to the doctor and she puts a flower in her hair as a kind of thank you to him - and I felt like a cowboy shot from a canyon's top. This is a different experience from reading a novel, I think. The emotional effect is cumulative. Let's just hope market forces don't send short fiction the way of the dinosaur, because their sales are paltry compared to the novel and this is truly unfortunate.
