It's actually quite easy. I was once like a lot of people here: wanting to write something that would change the perimeters which inscribe our idea of literature. Then I thought, who reads? Middle-aged women. What kind of book would they like? And the answer to that is what I wrote. In fact, having that simple horizon was the ideal ground on which to write. I can write things I am in no way ashamed of, while enjoying the process of crafting them well. And at the end of the day they're easy to sell. It's a lot nicer to be Fragonard than Picasso, an Ozu instead of a Gaspar Noe, the Dubliners-era James Joyce rather than the Finnegan's Wake-era James Joyce. Try it.
