I’m usually writing about survival
I’m friends with Studs Terkel [author of 20th-century cultural histories]. He’s 96 and practically deaf. I just saw him when I was in Chicago. He’s very smart and keeps up with news and events, but he said to me, “I’m living in the wrong century.” It’s no longer a world that he belongs to. We live in a time when things change so quickly, we all at some point end up feeling we don’t know how to adapt to the changes that are going on.
