Quote
"I cant imagine how there could be a novel of high ambition without ideas ;to me ,ideas becomes theme ,They are thematic and the transcendent aspect of any imaginative work,novels and poems alike.when I write a novel ther are usually two or three themes running concurrently. I see them as layers. I dont consciously seek that,it just seems to happen, perhaps because life is so complex. Human beings are complex ,and we writers strive for the Ultimate expression of the section of life that we dredge out from time and from place . So I think that ideas are of supreme importance but the word ideas to me, comes afterwords"
