“Ideas are the cheapest part of the writing. They are free! The hard part is what you do with the ideas you have gathered.”
"Fiction cannot recite the numbing numbers, but it can be that witness, that memory. A storyteller can attempt to tell the human tale, can make a galaxy out of the chaos, can point to the fact that some people survived even as most people died. And can remind us that the swallows still sing around the smokestacks."
