“'The Pushcart War' is presented as a history of a conflict that has not yet taken place; in each edition of the book, the date on which the hostilities commenced is nudged forward.”

“My wife likes me to point out that she puts our daughter down to sleep more often than I do, which gives me time to write stupid books about it.”

“To me, 'The End of the Jews' - both the title and the novel itself - is about the end of pat, uncritical ways of understanding oneself in the world.”

“I'm not a war photographer. I've always dealt with the consequences of conflict.”

“Conflict is a driver of food insecurity.”

“I always try to create conflict and drama in my books; it's the engine of the novel.”
