• El tiempo es como un acordeón que puede estirarse y comprimirse de mil maneras melódicas.

• Writing fiction is a resolutely solitary pastime, and I love being with people, so the public side of being an author is, to me, the reward for all the private time invested. And I love teaching to a fault; I have a hard time not giving away a lot of my own writing energy to my students.

• Crecí en un hogar donde los animales estaban siempre presentes y a menudo dominaban nuestras vidas. Siempre había caballos, perros y gatos, así como una enfermería rotativa de animales heridos que cuidaba mi hermana, aspirante a veterinaria. Sin ninguna intención consciente por mi parte, los animales llegan a desempeñar un papel importante en mi ficción: en Three Junes, un loro y una manada de collies; en The Whole World Over, un bulldog llamado The Bruce. A los amantes de los perros, por cierto, les recomiendo Mi perro Tulipán, de J. R. Ackerley, con diferencia el mejor "libro de animales" que he leído.

• Most inexperienced cooks believe, mistakenly, that a fine cake is less challenging to produce than a fine souffle or mousse. I know, however, that a good cake is like a good marriage: from the outside, it looks ordinary, sometimes unremarkable, yet cut into it, taste it, and you know that it is nothing of the sort. It is the sublime result oflong and patient experience, a confection whose success relies on a profound understanding of compatibilities and tastes; on a respect for measurement, balance, chemistry and heat; on a history of countless errors overcome.
