Every reader re-creates a novel – in their own imagination, anyway. It’s only entirely the writer’s when nobody else has read it.
I’ve got an overactive brain. I enjoy work, I enjoy life, and I’m not good at relaxing. I’ve also never slept very much due to this overactive imagination and my brain constantly thinking.

I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.
America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
Suddenly the whole imagination of writing and editorial and newspaper and all these presumptions about who am I reading this, and who else other people may be, and all that, it’s so grimly brutal!
