I think of myself as someone who thinks largely through writing. Thus I write more than most people, and I write in many different forms. I think of myself as the kind of person who writes, rather than as one kind of writer or another. That’s about the closest I come to categorizing myself as one or another kind of artist.
“Part of what dissent has to do is stay a half a step ahead of the process of commodification in order to keep that edge that is the edge of life. That’s something that artists always understand, that they’re just one six-month-period away from being trite. Even in this moment, I can feel my own triteness building behind me like Marvell’s chariot.”
