“My preferred style is to write in first person, so I always have to play around with possible narrator voices until I find something that works.”

“I speak pretty fluent American, though I do so with a strong British accent, and I love America: The scale and the variety of it are astonishing to someone not born there, and I'm convinced that its energy and generosity have somehow rubbed off on me and affected my writing. For the better.”

“As well as writing novels and doing short-order journalism, I am also the full-time carer of my husband, who has Alzheimer's. Each day feels like a race that must be run.”

“I would love to play a sociopath or, like, an unreliable narrator.”

“Writing in the first person, you immediately open yourself up to the idea that there's a connection between you and the narrator.”

“There's always a version of me who is the narrator. And I make myself look better than other people.”
