I can’t pretend to be pure that way.” He continued: “It may be that a part of me had to show off in order to get out some serious work. The truth is, we are very often at cross-purposes with ourselves.” Of his contemporaries, he says: “I was dead wrong on Updike. I was dead wrong on Roth. I was pretty mean on them, and they’ve been doing excellent work for years.”<br /> <br /> {{1990s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{2000s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{2010s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 2000s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 2003]]<br /> [[Category:Article-Interviews]]</div>
