What is the aim or goal of your writing: "I'm told that I am a 'writer's writer', and that I often write of families. My goal, as I see it, is to hold a mirror up to life-sometimes a fun-house mirror, sometimes a darkened one-and to find within it a little beauty, a little truth, a little wisdom. If in that process I make peace with the muses who drive me, so much the better. My writing runs the gamut of categories and styles, and that too is by design." "You won't memorize the quality of 'insight' on page 256 of a textbook. Live, observe, express. Your formula is inside you."
