#novels

I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality. ↗

The writer of stories or of novels settles on men and imitates them; he exhausts the possibilities of his characters. ↗

Many of the comedies I had made in Sweden were slightly based on semi-autobiographical experiences, so adapting novels was a very different experience. ↗

I suppose I'm proudest of my novels for what's imagined in them. I think the world of my imagination is a richer and more interesting place than my personal biography. ↗

In February of this year I returned to China to research my next book. The authorities know about the novels of mine that have been published in the west, including the latest one, Beijing Coma, about a student shot in Tiananmen Square, but so far have allowed me to return. ↗

I really enjoy writing novels. It's like the ocean. You can just build a boat and take off. ↗

I liked 35 and in both my novels that is the age of the lead characters. I tried making them my age but they just seemed to keep moaning about stuff. ↗

For the novels I wrote before selling anything, I didn't outline much. I had a vague idea of the story. ↗

I do have two data identities. I have my name, Bruce Sterling, which is my public name under which I write novels. I also have my other name, which is my legal name under which I own property and vote. ↗
