“Books I like: John McPhee's 'Coming Into the Country,' Michael Herr's 'Dispatches about the Vietnam War,' and Evan S. Connell's 'Son of the Morning Star' - the greatest book about the American West. I also admire Joan Didion, although I don't write like her in any way, shape, or form or cover the same subject material.”
