“I have written stories, essays, even whole books on trains, scribble-s...” — Paul Theroux Quote

“I have written stories, essays, even whole books on trains, scribble-scribble.”

“The place that interests me most, actually, is the United States. I've realized that I haven't traveled much in the States. There's a lot to see.”

“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.”

“I'm not an impersonator. I've only got one voice and only do one guy and his first-person essays.”

“When you go back and look at what people say about my essays, they're always going, 'What is this?' Because they're not exactly like other people's essays... The approach is not at all the recognized approach of a non-fiction writer. It's not linear. It isn't pyramidally based on fact.”

“The essays are different because ultimately it's things I'm interested in, and I'm really just writing about myself and using those subjects as a prism.”
