	My characters in ''[[The Deer Park]]'' are called “unsympathetic” by everyone. And how unsympathetic they must be to the liberal pluralist who represents unhappily the best among editors. For after all, none of my characters go to to Parent Teachers Meetings, they are not responsible members of the community, they do not debate whether their little good actions will make the world a little better. They are all psychopaths and saints and people torn between the two, and they wrestle for their souls in a most terrible society, and almost always lose them. Certainly, it is a depressing book, but they are not unsympathetic, my characters. They are souls in torment, and ''The Deer Park'' is a journey through torment. It would be a better book, a greater book, if the journey were even more terrible. I held back on Marion Faye.{{LJ:Faye}}		My characters in ''The Deer Park'' are called “unsympathetic” by everyone.
