Book: To the seed: the moments of my writing life, after which everything changed
The book was terrible. Plus, I felt like an idiot for not being able to understand a book published by the smartest people in New York. What an uneducated cattle I am, since the story about the uneducated cattle did not touch me to the core! For some reason, it never occurred to me why sophisticated New Yorkers fell in love with her.

The task of a creative person is to notice and describe something for others. Not everyone is able to fully understand their own feelings. Others cannot adequately express their feelings or ideas. Some people just don't have the courage to do so. In any case, the reader will immediately know the truth in person when he sees it. Great writers seem to read our thoughts and accurately describe what we ourselves could not put into words.
