Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.

写作是找到某种节奏的问题。我把它比作爵士乐的节奏。大多数时候,生活是由三个字有节奏地发展而成的。如果一个人告诉自己生活就是这样,他就不会觉得那么武断。
