"Whatever fame a novelist my attain, it's always kind of an anonymous one. I can go anywhere, and no one knows who I am."

Previous Quote

Fame is a kind of death because it arrests life around the person in the public eye. If one is recognized everywhere, one begins to feel like Medusa. People stop their normal life and actions and freeze into staring manikins. "We can never catch people or life unawares," as I wrote to my mother, in an outburst of frustration. "It is always looking at us."
